The head of a super PAC aligned with former President Donald Trump appeared before a grand jury involved with special counsel Jack Smith's investigation into Trump's handling of classified documents on Wednesday.
Taylor Budowich, who previously worked as a spokesman for the former president, arrived in Miami with his attorney, Stanley Woodward. Budowich is one of several witnesses that the southern Florida court has heard testimony from throughout the investigation, which began in November 2022.
The grand jury in Florida is joined by juries in Washington, D.C., that are gathering evidence and witness testimony for Smith's investigation, which is reportedly"wrapping up" soon. Other witnesses, such as Trump's former chief of staff, Mark Meadows, have reportedly testified, as well. Government officials say Trump knew he could not take classified records after it was revealed the National Archives and Records Administration told Trump of its plans to deliver 16 records to special counsel Jack Smith detailing his understanding of the proper declassification procedure.
Trump has also taken to social media to lash out at Smith and the DOJ about the"BOXES HOAX," calling the special counsel a"Trump hater" and accusing the department of plotting to rig the 2024 election.
