Kaitlan Collins interviewed Brian Butler, who is referenced as “Trump Employee 5” in the classified documents indictment brought by special counsel Jack Smith today. Butler gave testimony to federal investigators surrounding the criminal obstruction charges against Trump and his two co-defendants, Walt Nauta, a personal aide to Trump, and Carlos De Oliveira, a property manager at Mar-a-Lago who had been Butler’s closest friend until recently.

Butler, who worked at Mar-a-Lago for 20 years, said he helped Nauta deliver boxes of classified information from Mar-a-Lago to the former president’s plane bound for Bedminster in June 2022.

There's a lot of information in this article and her interview, including details of efforts to thwart federal authorities by deleting surveillance tapes of a storage room where the boxes had been kept at the club.

Butler turned over his cell phone which contains several years of communications with De Oliveira.

For all you Trumpers who continue to refuse to condemn Trump's mishandling of top secret documents: "Butler says he told investigators that Australian billionaire Anthony Pratt repeated classified submarine secrets following a conversation with Trump in spring 2021."

Meanwhile, judge Cannon granted Trump another 10-day delay in his documents trial. She's now openly working to aid Trump, who shared top secret information with an Australian businessman and ghost writers.

Question: wasn't Butler's eyewitness testimony enough to get a search warrant for Bedminster so this case could have been filed in New Jersey in front of a real judge?
