Heated hearing in classified documents case as lawyer for Trump co-defendant challenges prosecutors

A lawyer for Donald Trump’s personal valet is accusing federal prosecutors of targeting his client for prosecution because he refused to cooperate against the former president in the classified documents case. Walt Nauta was charged alongside Trump last year in a federal case charging them with conspiring to conceal boxes of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago, Trump’s estate in Palm Beach, Florida,. Prosecutors called the claims by Nauta's lawyer “garbage” and “a fantasy.” The case, among four criminal prosecutions against Trump, had been set for trial on May 20 but U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon cited numerous issues she has yet to resolve as a basis for canceling the trial date.
