Carlos De Oliveira, Mar-a-Lago property manager, heads back to court in classified documents case
CBSN
Washington — Carlos De Oliveira, the property manager at former President Donald Trump's South Florida resort, is set to appear in federal court in Fort Pierce, Florida, on Tuesday to enter a plea to charges brought by special counsel Jack Smith in the federal case alleging Trump mishandled sensitive government documents after leaving office.
De Oliveira is facing four charges related to allegations from the special counsel that he, with Trump and aide Walt Nauta, tried to delete security camera footage from Mar-a-Lago that was sought by investigators. He made an initial appearance last month and was released on a $100,000 signature bond.
De Oliveira's two earlier arraignments were delayed because he hadn't retained a lawyer in Florida, which is required. While the latest hearing De Oliveira scheduled for last Thursday was postponed, both Trump and Nauta pleaded not guilty to additional charges stemming from Smith's investigation into government records recovered from Mar-a-Lago. Nauta attended his second arraignment, while Trump waived his appearance.
