Trump co-defendant Walt Nauta loses bid for wide access to classified docs

One of the more amusing things about last weeks ruling was the fact that Walt Nauta had demanded that he be given full access to the classified documents in this case. That request was really arrogant and could have delayed the case. I was happy to see that Nauta was denied access to all classified information except for one picture.

Walt Nauta, a personal valet for Donald Trump, was barred from being able to broadly view classified information in his Florida trial.....

Nauta's attorneys had argued that their client could be trusted with classified material because of his experience in the U.S. Navy. But prosecutors pointed out that Nauta was charged with obstruction and making false statements, not mishandling classified documents.

In another Wednesday ruling, Cannon left the door open for Nauta and co-defendant Carlos De Oliveira to access classified documents introduced during the trial.

"As acknowledged by the Special Counsel, the classified information in this case, described on September 12, 2023, as consisting of approximately 3,500 pages classified at various levels, is discoverable information pursuant to Rule 16(a)(1)(E)," Cannon said.
