Mar-a-Lago pool flood raises suspicions among prosecutors in Trump classified documents case
Source: CNN Politics
Washington CNN — An employee at Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence drained the resort’s swimming pool last October and ended up flooding a room where computer servers containing surveillance video logs were kept, sources familiar with the matter told CNN. While it’s unclear if the room was intentionally flooded or if it happened by mistake, the incident occurred amid a series of events that federal prosecutors found suspicious.
At least one witness has been asked by prosecutors about the flooded server room as part of the federal investigation into Trump’s handling of classified documents, according to one of the sources. The incident, which has not been previously reported, came roughly two months after the FBI retrieved hundreds of classified documents from the Florida residence and as prosecutors obtained surveillance footage to track how White House records were moved around the resort.
Prosecutors have been examining any effort to obstruct the Justice Department’s investigation after Trump received a subpoena in May 2022 for classified documents. Prosecutors have heard testimony that the IT equipment in the room was not damaged in the flood, according to one source.
Yet the flooded room as well as conversations and actions by Trump’s employees while the criminal investigation bore down on the club has caught the attention of prosecutors. The circumstances may factor into a possible obstruction conspiracy case, multiple sources tell CNN, as investigators try to determine whether the events of last year around Mar-a-Lago indicate that Trump or a small group of people working for him, took steps to try to interfere with the Justice Department’s evidence-gathering.

I was eating when I read that, too! 
Don't worry, I'm fine. It just kicked the gross out factor up a couple notches for a moment there!
So if he was trying to destroy evidence, he evidently failed completely! Pretty damned funny, considering.
hasn't accidentally drained their pool into their storage rooms and closets? This is like the Rosemary Stretch. My thought to say to Rosemary would be "If the phone rang wouldn't it be normal to roll your chair back to the phone and have your conversation rather than doing a contortionist move and supposedly hitting the wrong button on the tape machine? But then again I'm silly enough to think that you should drain a pool into a drain rather than into a closet or storage area.
Or not.
since it is very important to drain a pool in Florida since the winters are too warm and pleasant for swimming. You would know that important fact if they hadn't banned those books from Florida schools.
