Trump 'body man' Walt Nauta enters not guilty plea in Miami hearing

Nauta is represented by Sasha Dadan, a defense attorney based in Fort Pierce, where the trial is scheduled to be held on Aug. 14.

Nauta's plea follows the release of more details contained in the search warrant for Trump's Mar-a-Lago property almost a year ago. The warrant describes a person, identified as witness 5, moving dozens of boxes in May and June last year from a room where federal prosecutors say Trump kept the boxes. Witness 5 is believed to be Nauta.

What an idiot. He needs a better lawyer. A good lawyer would tell him to take a plea deal

Agree. He's screwed unless FPOTUS wins the election and gives him a pardon. I suppose that's entirely possible but foolish at best. Wouldn't be surprised if it all gets pinned on Nauta by the end of this.

There's a podcast I listen to. It's hosted by lawyers. they talked about this and the fact that Trump is paying for Nauta's legal fees as a huge red flag that Nauta won't get the best representation

Good, he'll get a longer sentence that way.
