Walt Nauta, Trump’s longtime valet while in the White House, was dismissed and stripped of White House access after he was accused of sexual misconduct, including “revenge porn,” where you release nude images on the internet to get back at someone you feel betrayed you.

That’s gross. It also happened right before Trump hired him for his post-presidential bodyguard position.

Nauta is also one of the people identified as hiding the classified documents that Trump had at Mar-a-Lago. And it looks like maybe he was protecting himself, because the prosecution in the case says that he has images of those classified documents on his phone.

Special Prosecutor Jack Smith from the Florida case is banking on finding those images. Not betting the farm, but using them as an underline for the case against the former president.

Two weeks ago, CNN reported that the ex-prez had told Nauta that “[I]f he was charged with lying to the FBI, the former president would pardon him when he won a second term in 2024.”

Nauta, like Trump, has pleaded not guilty to the charges against him, which include the allegation that he helped Trump not just hide the documents, but obstruct the DOJ in the investigation.

That could carry some serious prison time.

From a recent Newsweek report, it turns out the filing, which just happened, seeks to “convince Judge Aileen Cannon that Nauta has had months to find an expert witness to refute the government’s claim about the classified images on his phone,” and that their “filing states that prosecutors informed Nauta’s lawyer months ago about the two photos.”

Nauta and his legal team keep insisting they need to find an expert witness.

But Newsweek says that prosecutors are incredulous.

“Nauta has everything he needs to identify an expert, and has had it for several months. Since one of the phones contained two unique images with classification markings, the Government provided those images separately to defense counsel via classified discovery in October 2023, along with the related forensic report containing metadata relating to those two images.”

YIKES, Walt.

In fact, Smith suspects, Nauta’s insistence that he knows nothing about the pictures is part of Trump’s scheme to hold up the trial until after the election, which, if he won, would make him easily able to just dismiss all the charges against himself.

Their aim is to prove that Trump didn’t “secure” the documents at Mar-a-Lago.

But we’ve already SEEN VIDEO of him casually chatting with rich men in bespoke suits about classified government information. They barely have to move a muscle to prove that Trump took the documents home to show them off.
