Ft. Pierce, Florida A Mar-a-Lago property manager and former President Donald Trumps personal aide are set to be arraigned Thursday morning in Fort Pierce, Florida, on new charges brought by the special counsel in the case regarding the mishandling of classified documents.
Carlos De Oliveira, the Florida property manager, and Trumps body-man Walt Nauta have been charged with multiple offenses related to Trumps allegedly unlawful retention of documents after leaving office, including classified material.
Nauta, who was charged alongside Trump earlier this summer, pleaded not guilty to the charges he faced in the original indictment.
De Oliveira was charged in a superseding indictment against Trump in Nauta late last month and was released on a $100,000 bond following his initial appearance days later.
The charges Nauta and De Oliveira face include making false statements, conspiracy to obstruct justice and corruptly altering, destroying, mutilating, or concealing documents.

Groom of the Stool - The Groom of the Stool (formally styled: "Groom of the King's Close Stool"
The physical intimacy of the role naturally led to his becoming a man in whom much confidence was placed by his royal master and with whom many royal secrets were shared as a matter of course. This secret informationwhile it would never have been revealed, for it would have led to the discredit of his honourin turn led to his becoming feared and respected and therefore powerful within the royal court in his own right. The office developed gradually over decades and centuries into one of administration of the royal finances, and under Henry VII, the Groom of the Stool became a powerful official involved in setting national fiscal policy, under the "chamber system".[1][2]
