A Mar-a-Lago Information Technology worker's decision to cooperate with special counsel Jack Smith and change his previous testimony paved the way for prosecutors to seek new obstruction charges against former President Donald Trump and two other aides in a superseding indictment in Smith's classified documents case last month, sources familiar with the matter told ABC News.

The IT director, whose identity was confirmed by sources as Yuscil Taveras, is set to be a central witness for Smith in his allegations that Trump, his aide Walt Nauta, and Mar-a-Lago property manager Carlos De Oliveira essentially attempted a cover-up as the government investigated Trump's handling of classified documents after leaving the White House.

Trump, Nauta and De Oliveira have all pleaded not guilty to all charges in the case.

What does this mean for the attorney? FrankBooth Aug 2023 #12
