Trump Ordered Security Footage Deleted, DOJ Alleges In New Charges

Trump Ordered Security Footage Deleted, DOJ Alleges In New Charges

Donald Trump and two aides face new obstruction counts based on allegations that they instructed an unnamed, fourth worker to delete surveillance video footage at Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence last summer "to prevent the footage from being provided to a federal grand jury."

Trump also faces a new count of willful retention of National Defense Information related to his handling of classified documents, apparently in connection with a top-secret presentation Trump allegedly waved at aides at his Bedminster, N.J., resort.

Also: the federal government is likely to shutdown in October.

This episode: political correspondent Susan Davis, national justice correspondent Carrie Johnson, senior political editor and correspondent Domenico Montanaro, congressional correspondent Deirdre Walsh, and White House correspondent Asma Khalid.

The podcast is produced by Elena Moore and Casey Morell. Our editor is Eric McDaniel. Our executive producer is Muthoni Muturi.
