A former Mar-a-Lago valet who used to ferry insider guests to the former president's private club has come forward to speak publicly about his role in transporting banker's boxers filled with what turned out to be classified information.
BrianButler, identified as 'Trump Employee 5' in Donald Trump's Florida indictment, spoke about moving the material in June of 2022, shortly before he decided to leave employment with Trump.
He is described in it as coordinating the activity with property manager Carlos De Oliviera and Trump aide Waltine 'Walt' Nauta in the superseding indictment prosecutors filed last July, having spoken with federal investigators before Special Counsel Jack Smith's prosecutors filed charges in the case.
'They were the boxes that were in the indictment, the white bankers boxes. That’s what I remember loading,' Butler told CNN in an on-camera interview.
...
He ended up assisting in transporting boxes from Mar-a-Lago on a day Trump and a lawyer met with DOJ officials at Mar-a-Lago amid the agency's effort to secure government material.
'I left Mar-a-Lago. I texted him, "Hey, I’m on my way." He followed me. He pulled out and got behind me. We got to the airport. I ended up loading all the luggage I had – and he had a bunch of boxes,' he said.
According to Butler, the three helped move the material along with Trump family luggage to the airport in West Palm Beach, on a day Trump was making his seasonal pilgrimage to his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey.
Butler worked for Trump for two decades, but now sounds disillusioned with the world he inhabited after speaking to federal investigators. He could presumably be called to testify at trial, which could begin this summer if Trump-appointed Judge Aileen Cannon doesn't delay it amid legal squabbles over classified information.

He might’ve been threatened instead. Threats don’t show up in bank accounts.
boring. tiresome. idiocy.
You do realize that President Trump has rather extensive business interests. Is it, just, possible that these were business records?
Rumor has it and I believe, that what they are looking for is "The Binder"; everything dealing with Crossfire Hurricaine, the Russian Collusion Hoax, the entire Coup and Clinton's illegal email server.
President Trump declassified everything, but the doj and intelligence said "We need to check everything, before it's released. Sources and methods, donchaknow."
They slow walked the "review", until PDJT was out of office, keeping everything in a safe, at Langley.
After Jan 21, 2021, they went to the safe, intending to destroy everything, but, Lo and Behold!, everything was gone!
If PDJT has it and gets back in office, I'll bet it contains enough incriminating evidence to send everyone, from the kenyan on down, to Guantanamo for life.
Is he related to that other lying sack-of-$hit Michael Cohen?
I saw that too. Isn’t the National Archives supposed to go through the files before they dump them?
Nothing. The whole business is to put a seemingly ominous headline on a completely bogus story so the low-info millions glance at it and say, "That Trump. How corrupt," before moving on to the comics.
The Democrat media is disgusting.
And, he know the boxes contained ‘classified’ documents, how?
103 documents.
Media showed 100s of boxes knowing not all of those boxes were the documents.
(Isn’t the National Archives supposed to go through the files before they dump them?)
Yes they are but this is the first time in presidential history they didn’t. The National Archives were part of the pre-planned setup for the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago.
I worked for a business and in the course of that work, I did what my employer/bosses said.
BOMBSHELL
Prosecute Hillary and Joe, and then I’ll listen ...
I guess Trump should have carried them himself. But then, that would actually suggest he was up to something. Instead he let any old scheme carry em.
“The National Archives were part of the pre-planned setup for the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago.”
I’ll believe that when Sandy Berger is found newsworthy of corrupting WJC’s notes under the very nose of The National Archives.
I wonder when his book will come out?
First of all, IF he was loading them for President Trump- they were declassified by the very act of taking them out of the white house and Trump declaring them or even considering them declassified— Secondly- Nah that’s it, the ex employee is an idiot
Did he look inside the boxes? Or, maybe there was a banker’s body in those boxes. ( I do not know how a box was called a banker’s box.)
They may have been boxes like the other boxes, but he can’t state that they contained Classified documents.
If he didn’t know then what was in them, how does he know now?
We use white bankers boxes for lots of things besides paperwork. They are a great size and have built in handles.
Bkmk
Biden stole papers from the National Archives too.
