Call Him Flipper: Key Mar-A-Lago IT Witness Turns On Trump

Yuscil Taveras has a no-prosecution agreement in exchange for his cooperation, CNN reports.

Mar-a-Lago IT worker Yuscil Taveras has a cooperation agreement with the special counsel’s office in the federal case over Trump’s handling of classified documents, Taveras’ former defense attorney said in a new court filing. Via CNN:

Taveras struck the deal with prosecutors after he was threatened with prosecution, defense attorney Stanley Woodward wrote in the filing dated Tuesday.

Taveras is referred to in the filing and in the superseding indictment as “Trump Employee 4,” and CNN has identified him as that employee.

According to the terms of the deal explained in the filing, Taveras agreed to testify in the classified documents case and in exchange will not be prosecuted. He has not been charged with any crimes.

The filing marks the first public acknowledgment that special counsel Jack Smith has won the cooperation of key witnesses as part of his prosecution of Trump, his longtime valet Walt Nauta and Mar-a-Lago property manager Carlos de Oliveira.

Whooee. I'll bet there was some major ketchup-tossing at Mar-A-Lago last night!
