A key witness against former President Donald Trump and his two co-defendants in the Mar-a-Lago documents case recanted previous false testimony and provided new information implicating the defendants after he switched lawyers, special counsel Jack Smith’s office said in a new court filing.
Yuscil Taveras, the director of information technology at Mar-a-Lago, Trump’s club in Palm Beach, Florida, changed his testimony last month about efforts to delete security camera video at the club after he changed from a lawyer paid for by Trump’s Save America PAC to a public defender, Tuesday’s filing says.
Perjury to advantage his other client. There has to be a law against lawyers doing that.
I mean that sounds like fraud to me, is there a form of malpractice that applies to Legal cases? Like a lawyer version of medical malpractice.
I think Kim gets sued for something similar in Better Call Saul. It’s almost definitely something you can get disbarred over.
Conflict of interest, it’s an ethical violation and at times grounds for mistrial by willfully ineffective counsel.
Shit… He can mistrial himself out of this?
No, both clients knew or should have known and thus no conflict of the lawyer has the correct paperwork provided.
