Recently unsealed court filings have revealed new details about the handling of documents at Mar-a-Lago involving former President Donald Trump and his valet, Walt Nauta. The filings indicate that Nauta randomly chose boxes of documents to return to the National Archives and that Trump directed that dozens more boxes located at the resort would not be returned.
Nauta testified to a grand jury about the boxes he took from Mar-a-Lago's storage room in January 2022, stating that he would randomly select boxes for Trump to review before returning them to the Archives. Trump himself reportedly indicated when the selection process was complete.
