Jack Smith plans to call Mar-a-Lago staff members to testify against Trump: report
The feds are snooping around Mar-a-Lago's service entrance.
Support staff who were employed at Donald Trump's Florida club and home after he served in the White House are among some of the prospective witnesses that may be called upon to testify in the criminal trial involving in the mishandling of classified documents, according to an exclusive report published by CNN.
The network confirmed with multiple sources to verify that among the many hands that work at Mar-a-Lago that might be able to shed light in the questionable hoarding of the materials marked "Classified" include a plumber, a maid, a chauffeur, a woodworker, and several maintenance workers.
They also may seek to question Trump's Secret Service detail, former intelligence officials, and people who were a room with the former president who discussed secret plans to attack Iran, according to CNN's reporting.
Scant details were learned by CNN when attempting to figure out who knew what and when.
For instance the woodworker, known to have installed crown molding in Trump’s bedroom in February 2022, appears to have spotted a stack of papers, but it's unclear if he could discern if they were classified in nature.
“He thinks he saw things, doesn’t know what they were – he eventually told investigators he thought what he saw may be movie prop,” a source with knowledge of the investigation told CNN.
The maid in question tidied Trump's suite while the plumber logged hours a few days a week for years, CNN reported, citing sources.
Investigators apparently quizzed a chauffeur about some of the visits paid by influential execs and VIPs, including Australian billionaire Anthony Pratt. The report cites two sources that say Pratt may be called as a witnessed because he was described as being at Mar-a-Lago and that the 45th president exposed to sensitive intel regarding U.S. nuclear submarines.
