Judge Denies Trump Co-Defendants' Bid to Dismiss Obstruction Charges in Classified Documents Case
TL;DR
A federal judge denied efforts by Donald Trump's co-defendants, Walt Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira, to dismiss obstruction charges they faced in the classified documents case, allowing the charges to proceed to trial. The judge also has yet to decide on several motions by Trump to dismiss charges against him. Nauta, Trump's personal valet, is accused of assisting in hiding classified documents, while De Oliveira, a property manager at Mar-a-Lago, faces charges related to moving boxes of documents. The judge rejected their claims that the charges were legally flawed and denied their requests for more information from prosecutors.
