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.

“I vociferously picked up pennies off the pavement whenever I saw one,” said the bellboy and it paid off for him.
Actually, the man’s admission is not that he carried boxes of “classified documents”, only that he carried boxes of documents. Jack Smith and the media can spin it their way all they want, but the mnan did not know the contents of the boxes and cannot admit to knowing what he did not know.
I have over 200 bankers boxes filled with books/
magazines/ kitchen items/ etc, in prepping for a possible move to large property.
Doesn’t the word ARCHIVE indicate these documents are supposed to be kept-—perhaps forever???
He spoke about having classified information. It was recorded.

IIRC——The NATIONAL ARCHIVES DUMPED many boxes back on the WH grounds just before Trump vacated.
