Former President Donald J. Trump’s growing cast of lawyers is marked by a web of overlapping interests encompassing witnesses, co-defendants and potential targets.
Walt Nauta, the former president’s personal aide, entered his plea in federal court in Miami. He is charged with conspiring to obstruct the government’s efforts to retrieve highly sensitive material.
The former president is surrounded by people who have provided testimony and evidence to federal investigators. He’s not supposed to discuss the case with any of them.
M. Evan Corcoran, who was hired to represent the former president after the Justice Department issued a subpoena for classified documents at Mar-a-Lago, could be a key witness in the trial.
