Judge Aileen Cannon ordered the public release of the FBI’s interview of Trump’s valet driver Walt Nauta.
Walt Nauta is a former White House employee and Navy veteran who worked valet for Trump and served as a personal staffer at Mar-a-Lago.
According to the transcript of the May 2022 interview, the FBI interrogated Trump’s aide Walt Nauta – without Trump’s knowledge.
The FBI agents approached Walt Nauta and asked for a voluntary interview under the guise of national security interest (similar to the General Flynn ambush).
“On May 26, 2022, NAUTA participated in a voluntary interview with the FBI. During the interview, the FBI explained to NAUTA that the FBI was investigating how classified documents had been kept at The Mar-a-Lago Club, and the FBI asked NAUTA questions about the location and movement TRUMP’s boxes before TRUMP provided 15 boxes to NARA on January 17, 2022. NAUTA was represented by counsel, and the FBI advised NAUTA that the interview was voluntary and that he could leave at any time. The FBI also advised NAUTA that it was a criminal offense to lie to the FBI,” according to the indictment reviewed by The Gateway Pundit.
According to the newly released transcript reviewed by this reporter, the FBI interrogated Walt Nauta without Trump’s knowledge.
“As far as [Trump] knows, I’m out jogging,” Walt Nauta told FBI agents when asked if Trump was aware he was in a secret meeting with the FBI.

Anyone hired in any capacity in the next Trump administration: When FBI agents stop by to chat, turn on your cell phone recorder and then say “No.” They will start to press you, continue to say “No” and ask them to leave. If they refuse to leave then you leave.
Recording is important, because even if you refuse to talk with them, they will lie.
Actor and producer
J Edgar had script approval, evidently.

And? President Trump was not required to be given advance notice of Nauta being interviewed by the FBI. None.
As far as Nauta? It's been said multiple times in so many venues - do not agree to be interviewed by law enforcement without at the very least discussing with legal counsel first.
Everyone thinks they can handle the situation. LTG Flynn thought he could. And it sounds like Walt Nauta thought he could.
Re: 46 - I am aware that Nauta had his attorney present during the interview.
I’d want to know how he came by that attorney and how long they had an attorney-client relationship. It’s important that first and foremost that Nauta’s attorney is there to protect’s Nauta’s rights - and no one else’s rights.
Nauta’s attorney reads as knowing the FBI agents (that is established at the beginning of the interview) from previous professional interactions.
Hope everyone reads this. Arrogant A-hoes at FIB! Astounding how the attorney did not end the interview from the start.
Ah. They weren’t real FBI people. They were making believe.
