Donald Trump aide Walt Nauta pleaded not guilty at a Miami federal courthouse on Thursday to charges he helped the former U.S. president hide top secret documents that Trump took when he left the White House in 2021.
Attorney Stanley Woodward entered the plea for Nauta at an arraignment lasting a few minutes. Nauta's Florida-based lawyer, Sasha Dadan, was also present.
Nauta smiled at reporters but said nothing on arrival at the courthouse. He and the lawyers left without speaking to reporters as well.
Nauta, a former White House valet and now a Trump aide, faces six counts of conspiracy to obstruct justice, false statements, and withholding and concealing documents.
Prosecutors allege Nauta hid boxes of documents from Trump's lawyers who were searching Mar-a-Lago, Trump's Florida resort, for classified material sought by the U.S. Justice Department.
Nauta also is accused of lying to investigators during a voluntary interview.
Nauta made his initial appearance alongside Trump on June 13 but was not arraigned for lack of a lawyer licensed to practice in Florida. His arraignment was postponed a second time in late June for the same reason.
