Aileen Cannon Grants Jack Smith's Request
The judge overseeing Donald Trump's classified documents case has granted a request from Special Counsel Jack Smith to deny the former president's co-defendants access to the sensitive materials they are accused of concealing at Mar-a-Lago.
The Context
Trump has pleaded not guilty to 40 federal charges over allegations he illegally retained classified and top secret documents when he left office in January 2021, and then obstructed the federal attempt to retrieve them.
Trump's co-defendants in the federal case, aide Walt Nauta and Mar-a-Lago maintenance worker Carlos De Oliveira are also accused of moving boxes of sensitive materials around Trump's Florida home to prevent federal agents from finding them, and conspiring to delete security footage at Mar-a-Lago which had been sought under subpoena.
Nauta and De Oliveira have pleaded not guilty to all federal charges against them, including conspiracy to obstruct justice.
