Former President Donald Trump’s co-defendant in a federal indictment was an active-duty Navy sailor when prosecutors say he moved highly classified national security documents to Mar-a-Lago.
Federal indictment against Trump unsealed, reveals ex-prez kept documents in Mar-a-Lago ‘ballroom, a bathroom and shower’
Nauta also helped move boxes temporarily stashed in Mar-a-Lago’s “white and gold ballroom” to the club’s business center in March 2021, while he was still in the Navy. On that day, Nauta “found several of Trump’s boxes fallen and their contents spilled onto the floor” of a storage room and texted a photo of splayed-out records marked “CONFIDENTIAL” to a fellow Trump employee, according to prosecutors.
When asked whether he knew where Trump’s boxes had been stored before the residence and “where they had been in a secure or locked location” as required, “Nauta falsely responded, ‘I wish I could tell you … I honestly just don’t know,” according to the indictment.
