Donald Trump and his aide Walt Nauta had already been charged and now face additional charges.
A third person has been charged in the classified documents case in addition to Donald Trump and Walt Nauta.
Carlos De Oliveira was added in a superseding indictment in the Florida federal case and, like Nauta, is charged with obstruction-related crimes. De Oliveira was the property manager at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club beginning in January 2022, according to the new indictment.
Among other things, the new indictment charges Trump, Nauta and De Oliveira with altering, destroying, mutilating, or concealing an object regarding their alleged request that another employee delete security camera footage at Mar-a-Lago to prevent the footage from being provided to the grand jury.
Judge Aileen Cannon recently set a late May trial date before this superseding indictment. It’s not immediately clear how, if at all, adding De Oliveria affects that timing.
