A third person was charged this Thursday in the case for the existence of classified documents at the residence of former President Donald Trump in Mar-a-Lago, in South Florida.
This is Carlos De Oliveira, who works in maintenance at the former president’s residence, according to NBC News.
Oliveira faces charges for obstruction of justice, for altering or mutilating an object, for altering documents and for making false statements. The first three charges carry a maximum sentence of 20 years while the fourth charge carries a maximum sentence of five years.
Apparently, Oliveira was recorded while allegedly helping Waltine Nauta move boxes at the residence.
In the case, they are already accused Trump, who received new chargesand an assistant, Waltine Nauta.
Both have pleaded not guilty and await the start of the hearings.
The federal judge in charge of the criminal case against former President Donald Trump for the classified documents decided that the criminal trial will begin on May 20, 2024 in Fort Pierce, Florida.
Judge Aileen Cannon had initially scheduled the trial for August 14, but this Friday she announced the new date.
The trial against the ex-president will take place a few months after the term that special counsel Jack Smith had requested, but it is a blow to the former president, who wanted to delay judicial proceedings until after the presidential election.
Smith had requested a December 11 start date, while Trump’s team said the trial should be delayed until after the election.
