Donald Trump, his valet Walt Nauta and a Mar-a-Lago maintainance chief are accused of an effort to delete video footage at the Mar-a-Lago club in Florida.
Prosecutors also are opposing a request by one of the former president's co-defendants in the case, valet Walt Nauta, for access to classified information, as opposed to only his attorneys, noting that Nauta is only charged with an effort to conceal boxes containing the information.
A third defendant was also added to the case, Mar-a-Lago maintenance chief Carlo de Oliveira, who allegedly played a role in the deletion effort "The government is not aware of any case in which a defendant has been permitted to discuss classified information in a private residence, and such exceptional treatment would not be consistent with the law," prosecutors for Department of Justice special counsel Jack Smith wrote.
The filing noted that since the end of Trump's presidency in January 2021, neither Mar-a-Lago nor his summer residence at his Bedminster, New Jersey, club have been authorized locations to store, possess or discuss classified information.
