Former President Trump's Mar-a-Lago property manager, Carlos De Oliveira, pleads not guilty to scheming with Trump to try to delete security footage.
late last month brought more charges against Trump and Nauta, and added De Oliveira to the Florida case. Trump is facing dozens of felony counts in the classified documents case, and Smith’s new indictment included additional counts of obstruction and willful retention of national defense information.Advertisement
De Oliveira, Trump and Nauta are facing charges that include conspiracy to obstruct justice in the case stemming from secret government documents found at Mar-a-Lago after Trump’s presidency ended in 2021. De Oliveira is also charged with lying to investigators. Prosecutors allege he falsely claimed he hadn’t even seen boxes moved into Mar-a-Lago after Trump left the White House.
The trial is scheduled to begin in May in front of U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon. If the date holds, it would follow close on the heels of aon dozens of state charges of falsifying business records in connection with an alleged hush money payment to a porn actor. The allegations in the latest indictment focus on security footage prosecutors say Trump tried to have deleted after investigators sent a subpoena for it in June 2022. Prosecutors have not alleged the footage was actually deleted.
Prosecutors say De Oliveira asked an information technology staffer how long the server retained footage and told the employee “the boss” wanted it deleted.
