Former President Donald Trump is expected to waive his right to appear at his arraignment on Thursday after facing new charges in a case alleging he mishandled classified documents after leaving the White House.
On July 27, Trump was charged with obstruction and willful retention of national defense information, in addition to previous charges he faced. A third individual, identified in court documents as Carlos De Oliveira, was also charged on July 27 as a defendant in the case, alongside Trump and his personal aide Walt Nauta.
De Oliviera is charged with conspiracy to obstruct justice; altering, destroying, mutilating or concealing an object; corruptly altering, destroying, mutilating or concealing a document, record or other object; and false statements or representations. In the indictment, prosecutors allege De Oliviera held discussions with another Trump employee, saying that"the boss" wanted stored archives of surveillance footage to be deleted.
Another issue that could come up today is how Trump's lawyers can view classified documents that could become evidence. Trump's lawyers say they want the ability to review the documents near Trump's home.
