Trump and Associates' Persistent Contact with Former Mar-a-Lago Employee Turned Witness Raises Questions

A former employee of Mar-a-Lago, who was a witness in the federal criminal indictment charging Donald Trump with mishandling classified documents, was repeatedly contacted by Trump and his associates after leaving his job. The interactions included phone calls, offers of legal representation, complimentary tickets to a golf tournament, and reminders that he could return to work for Trump. While these interactions may have seemed harmless, they have drawn the interest of investigators. The former employee was particularly close to Mar-a-Lago property manager Carlos De Oliveira, who remains loyal to Trump and has a lawyer paid for by him. The use of Trump-funded attorneys by witnesses in the case has raised concerns about conflicts of interest.
