Donald Trump aide Walt Nauta pleaded not guilty at a Miami federal courthouse on Thursday to charges he helped the former U.S. president hide top secret documents that Trump took when he left the White House in 2021.
Attorney Stanley Woodward entered the plea on Nauta’s behalf at an arraignment lasting a few minutes. Nauta’s Florida-based lawyer, Sasha Dadan, was also present. Nauta and the lawyers went into a conference room afterwards without speaking to reporters.
Nauta smiled at reporters but said nothing on his arrival at the court before the hearing.
Nauta made his initial appearance alongside Trump on June 13 but was not arraigned for lack of a lawyer licensed to practice in Florida. His arraignment was postponed a second time in late June for the same reason.
Trump, front-runner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, pleaded not guilty to 37 criminal counts for allegedly retaining national security documents without authorization and obstructing justice.
