USA V. Nauta

After Donald Trump won the 2024 presidential election, special counsel Jack Smith withdrew his appeal against Trump in the classified documents case, which U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon had dismissed. The remaining question in the case, unlike in Washington where Trump was the lone defendant in the federal election interference case, was what would happen to the appeal that the government was technically still pressing against Trump’s former co-defendants, Walt Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira.
