NEW: “Prosecutors are now prepared to ‘stack’ an ‘additional 30 to 45 charges’ on top of the 37-count indictment… using evidence against the ex-president that has not yet been publicly acknowledged by the department, including other recordings...” https://t.co/UZnUPXJG0j

But Trump is delaying the Florida trial with Nauta’s lack of counsel, and he always wins those fights!Per sources familiar, the Justice Department has made preparations to bring a superseding indictment against Mr Trump and could do so in several different venues, depending on how prosecutors feel the case against him in Florida is going. https://t.co/lxemDxqRvU

The team of federal prosecutors working under Special Counsel Jack Smith is currently prepared to add an “additional 30 to 45 charges” in addition to the 37-count indictment brought against Mr Trump on 8 June, either in a superseding indictment in the same Florida court or in a different federal judicial district. In either case, they would do so using evidence against the ex-president that has not yet been publicly acknowledged by the department, including other recordings prosecutors have obtained which reveal Mr Trump making incriminating statements.Trump as also makes attorneys get attorneys:
Additionally, it is understood that Mr Smith’s team is ready to bring charges against several of the attorneys who have worked for Mr Trump, including those who aided the ex-president in his push to ignore the will of voters and remain in the White House despite having lost the 2020 election.
Not sure if you know, but I certainly have been confused about rules/procedures regarding how the separate charges against multiple defendants in a single indictment work. He and Nauta are listed as co-defendants on a few of the obstruction/conspiracy/conceal charges, but Trump is the only one for the willful retention counts and a false statement charge. Can he not be tried just for those, independent of whatever goes on with Nauta, or are they intrinsically linked?
