A close associate of Donald Trump has been charged in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into the former president’s handling of classified documents, two sources confirm to Fox News.
Walt Nauta, who served as Trump’s personal assistant and valet at the White House and later at Mar-a-Lago, was the second charged in Smith’s investigation, following Trump’s indictment on Thursday night.
The exact charges facing Nauta were not immediately clear.
The indictment from a federal grand jury in Miami remains classified and there was no immediate confirmation from the Justice Department.
Sources told Fox News that surveillance video showed Nauta moving boxes of sensitive material from a storage facility at a time when the government sought information on those documents. At some point, he reportedly stopped talking to detectives.
It is unclear whether other current or former aides or associates of Trump could be charged in the classified documents investigation.
