Another day, another leak to the Washington Post.
A Trump employee told the FBI he moved boxes of documents at Mar-a-Lago on the former president's orders, according a report published by the Washington Post late Wednesday.
Apparently only Trump isn't allowed to take possession of his own presidential records.
Barack Obama was never harassed or accused of violating the Espionage Act for storing highly classified documents at a warehouse.
According to The Post, the claim from Trump's worker is corroborated by security footage.
Trump's worker was told to move the boxes after the former president received a subpoena in May for classified documents.
According to WaPo, this worker initially denied handling Trump's documents, but in the second interview with the feds, he admitted he moved some boxes for Trump.
Now this...
The ‘key witness' who moved Mar-a-Lago boxes on Trump's orders is a former White House employee and Navy veteran.
The Washington Post identified the key witness as Walt Nauta, a 39-year-old who worked valet for Trump and served as a personal staffer at Mar-a-Lago.
The Washington Post reported:
A key witness in the ongoing Justice Department and FBI investigation of Donald Trump's alleged mishandling of classified documents is a Navy veteran who followed the former president to Florida after serving as a valet in the Trump White House, people familiar with the matter said.
Walt Nauta is the witness in question, according to these people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation. The 39-year-old worked as a valet for Trump in the Oval Office suite, according to former White House staffers, and served as a personal aide at Mar-a-Lago, Trump's residence and private club in Florida.
Nauta is originally from Guam, according to public records. He enlisted in the Navy and eventually became a cook in the White House mess, a small dining facility run by the Navy in the basement of the West Wing. In 2013, he entered a military culinary competition, part of a team representing "presidential food service."
Nauta frequently served as a kind of gofer, fetching any items the president might need throughout the day and tidying up the room, the former staffer said. When Trump left the Oval Office for the night, it was Nauta who brought his coat. Their daily proximity meant that the two developed a close professional relationship, and Trump "trusted him completely," this person added.
As part of his valet responsibilities, Nauta also moved boxes containing papers for Trump between the Oval Office and a private study, as well as a private dining room that Trump used as an informal office, the former staffer said. Trump routinely took classified documents to that dining room, mingled with newspaper articles and other papers, according to multiple former White House officials who have said Trump never strictly followed the rules and customs for handling sensitive government material.
Trump's spox Taylor Budowich blasted Joe Biden's corrupt Justice Department in a statement to the Washington Post.
"The Biden administration has weaponized law enforcement and fabricated a Document Hoax in a desperate attempt to retain political power," Taylor Budowich said in a statement. "Every other President has been given time and deference regarding the administration of documents, as the President has the ultimate authority to categorize records, and what materials should be classified."
Budowich also accused Joe Biden's corrupt DOJ of leaking "misleading and false information to partisan allies in the Fake News."
