“The FBI must also prove that Trump tampered with evidence, either by altering, destroying or concealing the documents with the intent to obstruct them,” the source added.
“In this regard, the FBI will rely on Nauta regarding what Mr. Trump has or has not instructed him to do.

In a video message posted to Truth Social late Thursday, Trump said he was innocent and vowed to “fight” the charges.
