Donald Trump's valet, Walt Nauta, entered a not-guilty plea to charges that he helped the twice-impeached, twice-indicted President hide classified documents from federal authorities. However, it would be a very neat trick if he can pull this off since he was seen on security footage moving boxes.
We all have choices to make in life, but lying to the authorities for a petty Drain the Swamp narcissistic fabulist who wears lifts in his shoes to appear taller, and thinks loyalty is a one-way street, is probably the worst mistake of Nauta's life.
Via CBS News:
In the indictment handed down last month by a federal grand jury in Florida that had been convened by special counsel Jack Smith, Nauta was charged with six counts related to the documents investigation, including conspiracy to obstruct justice and concealing records. Five of those counts named Trump as a co-defendant.
Nauta was charged individually with lying to investigators during an interview with the FBI in May 2022. Prosecutors alleged he lied about what he knew about dozens of boxes allegedly containing classified material that had been taken to Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort as he left the White House.
The indictment accused Nauta of working with Trump to move and conceal the boxes, which also included personal items from Trump's time in office. Prosecutors said the pair knew that some of the boxes contained sensitive material and that they were aware of the government's interest in getting those records back into federal custody, but worked to resist those efforts.
Just like Trump left the January 6th defendants to remain behind bars, he's not going to help Nauta, either. Trump cares about Trump. It's a love story with only one person in the script.
