trump pleads not guilty to new federal charges 🔥🔥

FORT PIERCE, Florida, Aug 10 (Reuters) - An aide to Donald Trump pleaded not guilty on Thursday to additional federal charges that accused him of misleading investigators who were trying to recover classified documents that the former president took with him when he left office.

Trump's valet Walt Nauta pleaded not guilty to charges of obstruction of justice and false statements in an appearance before U.S. Magistrate Judge Shaniek Mills Maynard in Florida.

Another aide, Carlos De Oliveira, a property manager at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort home in Palm Beach, appeared alongside Nauta but did not enter a plea as lawyers said he does not yet have a local lawyer licensed to practice in the state.

Neither defendant spoke to reporters when leaving the courthouse, where a handful of Trump supporters had gathered to protest the case. Trump, the front-runner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination to face Democratic President Joe Biden, has decried the prosecution without evidence as politically motivated.
