One of the co-defendants in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case would like to modify a February motion to dismiss the indictment in light of what they say is a new argument by the government.
In a three-page notice of supplemental authority filed Friday, attorneys for Waltine “Walt” Nauta, former President Donald Trump’s personal valet, say the government recently shifted the statutory authority relied on for count 38 of the superseding indictment.

Nauta’s attorneys are doing all the heavy lifting in that case. I am disappointed in Trump’s attorneys.
Sounds like the DNC legal mi do are using similar circular logic up in NYC where the judge gas directed the jury not actually find a process crime to convict. This is Joe. BIDEN trying Trump via the White House legal team.
In the People’s Republic of Amerika with Lavrenti Garland at DOJ, the regime can criminalize anything it wants. Is that lawyer looking for a trip to an internment camp?
