Two images of #ClassifiedDocuments were found on a phone owned by #DonaldTrump's valet, federal prosecutors have claimed in court.

Prosecutors will call a phone expert to show that valet #WaltNauta allegedly shared one of the images in a text message. If true, this could help convince a future #jury that #Trump did not secure classified documents at his #MarALago estate in #PalmBeach, #Florida, and that staff had access to them.

“The FBI tracked the phone location of Donald Trump's personal assistant to prove he hid boxes of presidential documents before federal agents raided Trump's Florida estate, new documents show.

The former president is facing 40 federal charges over his handling of sensitive materials retrieved from his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, after leaving the White House in January 2021. He is accused of obstructing efforts by federal authorities to return them. Trump has pleaded not guilty to all charges.”
