The witness, a Trump staffer, was presented to prosecutors weeks before special counsel Jack Smith secured an updated indictment accusing Trump and two others in a plot to delete surveillance video at the Florida property, Nick Visser also reported for HuffPost.

Prosecutors said in a court filing Tuesday that the witness told a grand jury in Washington in March that he could not recall any conversations about the security footage.

Reporting for NBC News, Daniel Barnes, Dareh Gregorian, Ryan J. Reilly and Katherine Doyle revealed that the witness is Yuscil Taveras, the director of information technology at Mar-a-Lago.

He recanted his testimony last month about efforts to delete security camera video at the club after he dumped the lawyer paid for by Trump’s Save America PAC to a public defender, Tuesday's filing says.
