An associate with close ties to former President Donald Trump has been formally charged as part of the ongoing investigation led by Special Counsel Jack Smith into the mishandling of classified documents, according to reliable sources cited by Fox News.
The indicted individual, Walt Nauta, played a key role as a personal aide and valet to Trump both during his tenure at the White House and later at Mar-a-Lago. Nauta becomes the second person to face charges in Smith’s investigation, following Trump’s own indictment announced on Thursday night.
The specific nature of the charges against Nauta has not yet been disclosed, and the details of the indictment issued by a federal grand jury in Miami have been kept confidential. The Justice Department has not released an official statement regarding this development.
Insiders familiar with the matter revealed that surveillance footage captured Nauta handling boxes containing sensitive materials within a storage area at a time when the government was actively seeking information related to those documents. It has been reported that Nauta ceased cooperating with investigators at a certain point during the inquiry.
At this stage, it remains uncertain whether other current or former aides or associates of Trump could potentially face charges as part of the ongoing investigation into the mishandling of classified documents.
