A team of prosecutors working for special counsel Jack Smith is investigating the Trump Organization's handling of surveillance videos at former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort, according to a report published Wednesday.
Questions on the handling of the videos, including how Trump Organization employees responded to the Justice Department’s subpoena for the footage last summer, have prompted a new round of grand jury subpoenas to top Trump employees in recent weeks, unnamed sources told CNN.

The videos allegedly show former Trump aide Walt Nauta and another Mar-a-Lago employee moving boxes containing classified documents out of a storage closet.
Two witnesses in the organization are expected to testify before a grand jury on Thursday, and prosecutors are expected to ask them about the footage. Longtime Trump Organization executives Matthew Calamari Sr. and his son Matthew Calamari Jr. are also expected to be asked about conversations among Trump employees following the subpoena.
Both men have overseen security for Trump and his organization for years. Calamari Sr. is currently the executive vice president and chief operating officer of the Trump Organization, but he has overseen security operations for the organization for decades. Calamari Jr. is the organization's director of security.

Other lower-level Trump employees have already testified on the security videos, including whether they could have been tampered with before being handed over to the FBI.
The footage is part of the Justice Department’s broader investigation into the possible mishandling of classified documents at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida. An FBI raid last August found over a hundred classified documents at the resort, which Trump claimed he declassified upon leaving the Oval Office. Trump faces a possible obstruction of justice charge, but no charges have been brought so far.
