Trump's valet trolled as he admits they chose ‘at random’ which boxes of classified documents to return

WASHINGTON, DC: The degree to which Trump's valet, Walt Nauta, handled and stored sensitive materials found at the Mar-a-Lago resort and estate in Palm Beach was made clear by recently disclosed court documents in the Florida lawsuit against Donald Trump, according to Independent.

Notably, some of Nauta's responses to queries from FBI agents looking into the matter were included in the newly released documents.

Trump's valet admits they chose which boxes of classified documents to return

Nauta informed investigators about the National Archives' attempt to collect some highly classified documents during Trump's tumultuous move-out procedure after January 6.

He said, "What I recall is every time he would leave for the evening, they would come up, and they would collect all the papers that he threw on the floor; or that – at the time – we understood that he didn’t need any more."

Notably, after weeks and possibly months of partially and even flatly refusing to cooperate with the Biden transition team, Nauta offered a unique glimpse into the disorganized and hurried departure that Trump made from the White House in 2021.

Moreover, Nauta's testimony revealed that Trump's advisors and outgoing staff had no supervision or assistance for their work to finish transition obligations as he was distracted with his attempts to overturn the election based on false conspiracy theories.

Nauta, a former Navy cook now employed as a valet at a resort, was an odd choice to be at the center of a presidential probe. The documents also provided insight into the former president's turbulant psyche at the time, which prosecutors may use to explain his purported decision to keep secret information for his collection rather than give them over to federal authorities.

On Monday, May 6, the Florida judge presiding over the lawsuit granted Trump's lawyers additional time. Judge Aileen Cannon has eliminated the deadline that was previously scheduled for Thursday, May 9, for his side to submit a crucial filing. A list of the classified materials they intended to use as evidence in court was included in that important file.

Internet slams Walt Nauta for his statement

Several internet users slammed Walt Nauta as he informed investigators about the National Archives' attempt to collect some highly classified documents during Trump's tumultuous move-out procedure after January 6.

A user posted on X, "You’re such a little man liar," while one added, "Lock him already." A person wrote, "So was #WaltNauta doing #theDonald's dirty work of being the in-between man & helping sell US classified documents??"

Someone else stated, "Of course he went in those boxes and looked at those documents Everybody that handled them probably did," whereas one mentioned, "Oh, Walt. Banking on a pardon from trump, if he‘s elected, is riskier than fessing up & taking a plea deal."
