Mar-A-Lago 'Employee 5' Spills The Tea On Trump Obstruction

CNN's Kaitlin Collins got an exclusive interview with Brian Butler, the Mar-A-Lago employee who was the source for important information for Jack Smith's indictment: Via CNN:

So much information, I hardly know where to begin. But it was revealed that Brian Butler (aka Employee 5 in the Mar-A-Lago indictments) was the source for this story about Trump sharing classified information with an Australian billionaire:

At one point in his interviews, Butler says he told investigators that Australian billionaire Anthony Pratt repeated classified submarine secrets following a conversation with Trump in spring 2021.

Pratt met with Trump and heard from the former president about US and Russian submarines at their meeting, then relayed that information to his chief of staff while in the backseat of Butler’s car. Butler later told investigators he was shocked that Trump would share such information with a foreign citizen who paid excessive sums for access to Mar-a-Lago.

Butler says he believes the relationship was indicative of how a club member sought access to Trump once he became president.

He also provided information about other employees were looking into how to delete surveillance tapes:

Butler also was a witness in the room to several conversations that allegedly capture how Trump was positioning his closest aide Nauta, De Oliveira and others to thwart federal authorities.
