MIAMI: An aide to former US President Donald Trump will make his first appearance in Miami federal court on Monday (Jul 31) to face charges he tried to help the former president hide secret documents taken upon leaving office. Carlos De Oliveira, the property manager of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm
The second indictment, which includes new charges against Trump and Nauta, is a sign the case is widening and comes as charges loom in a separate investigation into Trump’s efforts to overturn his loss in the 2020 election.Investigators raided Trump's resort in August 2022 and found more than 300 secret documents in a trove of roughly 11,000 government papers.
De Oliveira and Nauta also moved boxes of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago to conceal them from the FBI and Trump's lawyers, the indictment said. Trump's lawyers met with US Special Counsel Jack Smith last week about the election interference probe. It is not uncommon for defense attorneys to meet with federal prosecutors before an indictment.
Trump has pleaded not guilty, saying the cases against him are part of a politically motivated"witch hunt".
