A previously unknown grand jury in Florida is scrutinizing Trump's classified documents scandal, and today it heard from a member of the former president's inner circle. As stevebenen writes, the witness did not seem pleased.
For those of us following Donald Trump’s criminal investigations, the focus for months has been on three specific locations: New York City, where the former president has already been indicted; Fulton County, Georgia, where the Republican is facing a possible indictment for election interference; and Washington, D.C., where special counsel Jack Smith is scrutinizing two of Trump’s scandals.
Right about now, I suspect plenty of readers are saying, “I guess that’s interesting, but who’s Taylor Budowich?”,"Budowich served in an all-encompassing role for the former president, traveling with him and serving as his spokesman before Trump formally launched his 2024 bid for president. At that point, Budowich officially announced that he’d be at the helm of the Trump-aligned super PAC, MAGA Inc.
While the former president’s former spokesperson might not have an especially high profile — Budowich is not a household name along the lines of others in Trump’s inner circle — it's worth emphasizing why he has a relevant perspective of interest to prosecutors.
