A key witness against former President Donald Trump and his two co-defendants in the Mar-a-Lago documents case recanted previous false testimony and provided new information implicating the defendants after he switched lawyers, special counsel Jack Smith’s office said in a new court filing.
Yuscil Taveras, the director of information technology at Mar-a-Lago, Trump's club in Palm Beach, Florida, changed his testimony last month about efforts to delete security camera video at the club after he changed from a lawyer paid for by Trump’s Save America PAC to a public defender, Tuesday's filing says.

Idk but possibly related: I've heard that there are a good number of times you should prefer public defender to paid representation.
Ohh. Why’s that?
The main thing I've heard is that public defense is offen local to the court house and therefore has a feel for tone, procedure and manner. This might give them a few sympathy points, and even though obv the case itself is far more important, this makes a few things easier still.
