Key Witness in Trump Investigation Changes Testimony to Implicate Former President

A key witness in the government’s investigation into Donald Trump’s handling of classified documents has changed his testimony to implicate the former president, according to a federal court filing on Tuesday.

Yuscil Taveras, an IT employee at Mar-a-Lago, was initially accused of lying to investigators by telling them that he had no knowledge of efforts to delete security camera footage at the Florida resort. However, he has since amended his testimony and was assured by federal prosecutors that he would not face perjury charges.

The new court filing accuses Trump and two of his aides of ordering the deletion of a computer server that held incriminating footage. This is in addition to the charges leveled against Taveras last month.

The source familiar with the investigation told CBS News that Taveras was advised by special counsel Jack Smith’s team that he would not face perjury charges after he amended his testimony.

The investigation into Trump’s handling of classified documents is ongoing. It is unclear what the outcome of the investigation will be, but Taveras’ change in testimony could have significant implications for the former president.
