Former Trump Aide Walt Nauta to be Arraigned in Miami on July 6 in Connection with Special Counsel’s Investigation into Alleged Illegal Retention of Classified Documents

Walt Nauta, a longtime aide to former President Donald Trump, is set to be arraigned in Miami on July 6 in connection with the special counsel’s investigation into the alleged illegal retention of classified documents.

Nauta’s arraignment was originally scheduled for June 8, but was delayed after his flight was canceled due to severe weather. The federal judge presiding over the case rejected the government’s request to keep the list of 84 witnesses who may testify during the trial under seal.

Trump was indicted on 37 criminal counts earlier this month related to his handling of classified documents after leaving the White House. Nauta is one of the witnesses on the list of potential witnesses provided by special counsel Jack Smith to the former president’s attorneys.

Nauta is currently seeking local counsel to represent him in the matter. It is unclear what role Nauta may have played in the alleged illegal retention of classified documents.

The arraignment is expected to shed light on the case and provide more information about the potential witnesses. It is unclear at this time what the outcome of the arraignment will be.
