The Mar-a-Lago IT director who flipped on Donald Trump in the classified documents case is a part-time DJ and registered Democrat with a history of money troubles, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal.

Yuscil Taveras, 45, managed to rack up debts of nearly $750,000 despite holding down a string of well-paid tech jobs and moonlighting as 'DJ Juicy.'

The dad-of-two battled back from bankruptcy but now finds himself a pivotal figure in Special Counsel Jack Smith's efforts to convict Trump of mishandling top secret government material.

Justice Department filings suggest that Taveras – described as 'Trump employee 4' – initially denied any knowledge of an alleged plot to wipe incriminating CCTV from a server at the former President's swish Florida residence.

But when Smith's team threatened him with perjury charges, Taveras fired his Trump-appointed lawyer, 'recanted' his previous evidence, and will likely testify against his former employer when the case goes to trial.

The New York native has scrubbed his social media and kept a low profile since his explosive U-turn was revealed in an August 22 federal court filing.

He and his wife are currently renting a smart $850,000 home in a gated community in Lake Worth, Florida, less than 30 minutes from the Mar-a-Lago Club, where the longtime Trump organization employee has worked for the past several years.

When DailyMail.com dialed the number for Taveras on the estate's door entry system a female voice picked up and insisted: 'You have the wrong number.'
