Trump valet Walt Nauta charged in special counsel probe: Sources
ABC "News" ^ | June 9, 2023 | John Santucci

An aide to former President Donald Trump, Walt Nauta, has been charged by the special counsel as part of their probe into Trump’s alleged taking of classified information, sources tell ABC News.

Nauta, a former valet in the Trump White House who left his role to join the former president as a personal aide in early 2021, was indicted by the same grand jury in Florida that indicted Trump on Thursday, the sources say.

It is not immediately clear what the exact charges are and an attorney for Nauta declined to comment when contacted by ABC News.

A federal grand jury voted to indict Trump on at least seven federal charges late Thursday as part of an investigation into his handling of classified documents, sources familiar with the matter told ABC News. The indictment comes after more than 100 documents with classified markings were found at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in August 2022.

So more "killing the chicken to scare the monkey" coming from our much vaunted "justice" system.

Maybe they'll arrest Barron next.

if they can’t get trump they will get as many people that worked for him. Same thing they have been doing to the lawyers.

make Trump so toxic that no one wants to work with him.

Gee, I wonder why "Trump can't pick good people"®?

Considering that the entire political apparatus of the United States is openly destroying people for being associated with Trump, I can't see how he can get ANYONE to work for him.

**************

When has anybody really flipped on Trump?

Nobody has flipped enough to take him out in the past, but this time it’s different.(sarcasm)

This is a show & a distraction from Biden/Harris corruption & incompetence.

I get the sense that a lot of people’s lives are going to be a needlessly expensive nightmare for a couple of years.

It looks like they've gone and indicted a ham sandwich.

There’s a solution to this sort of thing.

I’m guessing he hasn’t been given the talk yet. “You’re looking at 20 years federal time. That would include the loss of your pension. Don’t think about yourself. Think about your family.”

A combination of bluff and bullying there. Folks like G. Gordon Liddy can resist such pressure. But most people can’t.

Yeah we wouldn’t want those navy veterans who worked as a valet to get away with any of these awful crimes about moving a Box from one place to another now would we?
