Government examiners on Thursday added significant allegations to a prosecution charging previous President Donald J. Trump with misusing characterized reports after he left office, introducing proof that he told the property supervisor of Blemish a-Lago, his exclusive hangout and home in Florida, that he believed surveillance camera film there should be erased.

The new allegations were uncovered in an overriding prosecution that named the property chief, Carlos De Oliveira, as another litigant for the situation. He is planned to be charged in Miami on Monday.

The first prosecution recorded last month in the Southern Region of Florida denounced Mr. Trump of disregarding the Surveillance Act by illicitly clutching 31 grouped archives containing public protection data after he left office. It likewise charged Mr. Trump and Walt Nauta, one of his own helpers, with a scheme to hinder the public authority's rehashed endeavors to recover the characterized material.

The reconsidered prosecution added three major allegations against Mr. Trump: endeavoring to "modify, obliterate, ravage, or cover proof"; prompting another person to do as such; and another count under the Reconnaissance Act connected with a grouped public safety report that he displayed to guests at his golf club in Bedminster, N.J.

The refreshed prosecution was delivered around the same time that Mr. Trump's attorneys met in Washington with examiners in the workplace of the unique direction, Jack Smith, to examine a purported target letter that Mr. Trump got for this present month recommending that he could before long face a prosecution for a situation connected with his endeavors to upset the consequences of the 2020 political race. It filled in as a strong update that the records examination is progressing, and could keep on yielding extra proof, new counts and, surprisingly, new litigants.

Investigators under Mr. Smith had been exploring Mr. De Oliveira for quite a long time, worried, in addition to other things, by his correspondences with a data innovation master at Blemish a-Lago, Yuscil Taveras, who directed the reconnaissance camera film at the property.

That recording was key to Mr. Smith's examination concerning whether Mr. Nauta, at Mr. Trump's solicitation, had moved confines and out of an extra space at Blemish a-Lago to try not to follow a government summon for all grouped reports in the previous president's ownership. A significant number of those developments were gotten on the observation camera film.

The amended arraignment expressed that in late June of last year, not long after the public authority requested the observation film as a component of its request, Mr. Trump called Mr. De Oliveira and they represented 24 minutes.

After two days, the prosecution said, Mr. Nauta and Mr. De Oliveira "went to the safety officer stall where reconnaissance video is shown on screens, strolled with a spotlight through the passage where the extra space was found, and noticed and brought up observation cameras."

A couple of days from that point onward, Mr. De Oliveira went to see Mr. Taveras, who is distinguished in the prosecution as Trump Worker 4, and took him to a little room known as an "sound wardrobe." There, the arraignment said, the two men had a discussion that was intended to "stay among them."

It was then that Mr. De Oliveira told Mr. Taveras that "'the manager's needed the server erased," the prosecution expressed, alluding to the PC server holding the security film.

Mr. Taveras protested and said he didn't have any idea how to erase the server and didn't think he reserved the privilege to do as such, the prosecution said. By then, the arraignment said, Mr. De Oliveira demanded again that "the chief" needed the server erased, inquiring, "What are we going to do?"

After two months, after the F.B.I. plummeted on Blemish a-Lago with a court order and pulled away around 100 characterized records, individuals in Mr. Trump's circle gave off an impression of being worried about Mr. De Oliveira's loyalties.

"Somebody simply needs to ensure Carlos is great," the prosecution cited Mr. Nauta as sharing with another Trump worker.

Accordingly, the prosecution said, that worker told Mr. Nauta that Mr. De Oliveira was "faithful" and "wouldn't effectively influence his relationship with Mr. Trump." After the discussion, Mr. Trump — who during his 2016 official mission frequently pounced upon his rival, Hillary Clinton, for erasing material from her email server — called Mr. De Oliveira and said that he would get him a legal counselor.

The reexamined prosecution likewise charges Mr. De Oliveira with misleading government specialists. It relates a trade where he over and over denied seeing or having much insight into boxes of reports at Blemish a-Lago, despite the fact that, the prosecution said, he had by and by noticed and helped move them when they showed up.

Mr. De Oliveira's legal advisor, John Irving, declined to remark.

An assertion credited exclusively to the Trump lobby considered the new allegations a "frantic and thrashing endeavor" by the Equity Division to undermine Mr. Trump, the ongoing leader for the conservative selection to take on President Biden one year from now.

Mr. Trump and Mr. Nauta have both argued not liable to the charges in the first prosecution. Their case has been planned to go to preliminary in May.

The new charges spread out exhaustively endeavors by Mr. Nauta to talk with Mr. De Oliveira about the surveillance camera film and to decide how long the recording was put away after the public authority tried to get it under a summon.

The prosecution contains an extra charge connected with an ordered record — a fight plan connected with going after Iran — that Mr. Trump showed, during a gathering at his Bedminster golf club, to two individuals assisting his previous White House head of staff With checking Glades compose a book.

The refreshed arraignment gives explicit dates during which Mr. Trump was in control of the report — from Jan. 20, 2021, the day he left office, through Jan. 17, 2022, the date Mr. Trump turned north of 15 boxes of official material to the Public Files. The explicitness of the dates shows that examiners have the record being referred to and the prosecution portrays it as a "show concerning military movement in a far off country," it was checked top secret to add it.

The gathering at which Mr. Trump flaunted the report was caught in a sound recording and Mr. Trump can be heard stirring paper and depicting the archive as "mystery" and "delicate."

In any case, he has attempted to recommend that he never had a report in his grasp and was essentially ranting.

"There was no record," Mr. Trump guaranteed to the Fox News have Bret Baier in a new meeting. "That was a monstrous measure of papers and all the other things discussing Iran and different things. Furthermore, it might have been held up or may not, however that was not a report. I didn't have a record in essence. Nothing remained to be declassified."

The first arraignment recorded by Mr. Smith and his group in June came around two months after neighborhood examiners in New York documented in excess of 30 crime allegations against Mr. Trump for a situation associated with a quiet cash installment made to a pornography star ahead of the 2016 political race.

Mr. Trump stays being scrutinized by Mr. Smith's office over his boundless endeavors to hold power after his political decision misfortune in 2020, and how those endeavors prompted the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Legislative center by a supportive of Trump crowd. He is additionally being examined for conceivable political race obstruction by the lead prosecutor's office in Fulton Area, Ga.
