Special counsel Jack Smith on Friday urged the federal judge overseeing the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case to enforce certain redactions on two court filings recently submitted by former President Donald Trump’s valet Waltine “Walt” Nauta.

Nauta faces charges of conspiracy to obstruct, making false statements to the FBI, and withholding documents — connected to an alleged scheme to delete Mar-a-Lago camera footage and conceal boxes of classified documents from a grand jury. In reply briefs, he argued the indictment should be thrown out because he was singled out via vindictive prosecution and impermissibly retaliated against via prosecution because he declined to testify in front of a grand jury.

On Wednesday, Smith’s office addressed several alleged substantive and procedural deficiencies in Nauta’s arguments, categorizing them as “deeply flawed” and “meritless” and simply filed too late.

The government’s Friday filing asks U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon to intervene in a dispute over whether Nauta can publicize the names of potential government witnesses and other information.
