MADRID, 10 (EUROPA PRESS)
Former United States President Donald Trump and his personal assistant, Walt Nauta, have pleaded not guilty this Thursday to various charges in the framework of the investigation into classified documents found at the tycoon’s residence in Mar-a-Lago, in Florida.
Trump, initially charged with 37 charges to which he pleaded not guilty in June, has entered his plea through his lawyers and has not attended the hearing. Specifically, he has pleaded not guilty this Thursday to three additional charges.
Nauta was also initially charged with six counts, including conspiring to obstruct justice, making false statements and concealing, destroying or corrupting documents. Later, the US Justice included two other additional charges, of which he has pleaded not guilty, the newspaper ‘The Washington Post’ has collected.
Nauta, who already dismissed the first charges against him in early July, has been one of former President Trump’s loyal advisers and has continued to work with him despite a judge ordering that they not be able to communicate about the case.
On the other hand, Carlos de Oliveira, the property manager of Mar-a-Lago, Trump’s mansion, has gone to court along with Nauta, although his hearing has been rescheduled for next Tuesday as he does not have a representative. Legal in Florida.
De Oliveira, who is responsible for the luxury complex where nearly 100 classified documents were found, faces four counts of altering, destroying or concealing documents, as well as making false statements during a voluntary interview with federal investigators.
Trump stored boxes in various places in his residence, such as his bedroom or one of his offices, although they were also found in the bathroom and shower. The tycoon would have gone so far as to order his assistant to move the papers from one place to another so that his legal team would not see them and even suggested that they be destroyed.
The former president, who pleaded not guilty in a Miami court to 37 charges in the case, also showed pages marked as classified up to two times to various people, according to the investigation led by special prosecutor Jack Smith.
