US Prosecutors Move to End Criminal Case Against Trump Associates

Prosecutors Decide to Drop Charges Against Walt Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira

On Wednesday, U.S. prosecutors filed a motion to end the criminal cases against two associates of President Donald Trump. The charges had been related to allegations of obstructing a probe into Trump’s mishandling of classified documents.

No Objection from Defendants

The two defendants, Trump’s personal valet Walt Nauta and property manager Carlos De Oliveira, did not object to the decision to drop the charges, as indicated by the court filing.

End of Prosecutions by Special Counsel Jack Smith

This decision marks the conclusion of the two prosecutions involving Trump, which were led by Special Counsel Jack Smith. Smith recently resigned from his role at the Justice Department earlier this month, as Trump prepares for a potential return to the presidency.
