DOJ Drops Appeal Against Trump's Co-Defendants Nauta and De Oliveira in Classified Documents Case
Jan 29, 2025, 04:29 PM
The U.S. Department of Justice, now under new leadership, has moved to drop its appeal to revive federal charges against Walt Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira, two associates of President Donald Trump who were co-defendants in the classified documents case. The DOJ filed a motion in the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals to end the prosecution of Nauta, Trump's assistant, and De Oliveira, a former Mar-a-Lago property manager, who were indicted alongside Trump by special counsel Jack Smith for allegedly helping to obstruct a probe into Trump's mishandling of classified documents. The move effectively wipes out any legal peril the pair could have faced and ends the last vestiges of Smith's cases against Trump associates.
