Washington Examiner had more on the story:
The trio of defendants is facing new charges from the July 27 superseding indictment, including allegedly plotting to obstruct justice by attempting to delete surveillance footage at Trump’s estate “to conceal information from the FBI and grand jury,” according to the indictment.
Trump allegedly spoke with Nauta and De Oliveira, including a 24-minute phone call with De Oliveira one day after receiving a subpoena.
