Jack Smith Subpoenas The Maids At Mar A Lago
The special counsel’s investigation into Donald Trump continues to run along two tracks—the fact that prosecutors are pushing back against Mike Pence’s delaying tactics in the investigation into Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election does not mean that there isn’t an active probe into Trump’s classified document hoard at Mar-a-Lago. CNN reports that “at least two dozen” people tied to Mar-a-Lago have been subpoenaed to testify to a federal grand jury.
That includes Mar-a-Lago staff like a housekeeper and restaurant servers, as well as Trump political aides like Margo Martin, who was a press assistant in the White House and then stayed with Trump as he relocated to Florida after leaving office. The prosecutors, led by special counsel Jack Smith, are “casting an extremely wide net—anyone and everyone who might have seen something,” an unnamed source told CNN.
