Judge Allows Trump Aide to Retain Lawyer in Mar-a-Lago Documents Case

A federal judge has ruled that Walt Nauta, a co-defendant in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case involving former President Donald Trump, can keep his lawyer despite a potential conflict of interest. Nauta is accused of moving classified documents at Trump's direction and lying to federal investigators about it. His attorney, Stanley Woodward, previously represented another Trump employee involved in the case but agreed not to cross-examine or undermine his former client's credibility. The trial is scheduled to begin in May 2024, with a hearing in November to discuss potential delays.
