Washington – An employee at former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort seen on security camera footage moving boxes that have become a key part of the FBI's ongoing investigation into Trump's handling of presidential records is a former White House culinary worker and Navy veteran, a source confirms to CBS News.
Walt Nauta – who served as a White House culinary employee from 2012-2021, according to his service record – told investigators that the former president directed him to move the boxes to a different location as the federal investigation was underway, an individual familiar with the investigation says.
Nauta, a native of Guam, is now a witness in the Justice Department's probe – which escalated after the execution of a search warrant on Trump's Florida residence in August – and has appeared before a federal grand jury in Washington, D.C., CBS News has learned. Investigators are interested in Nauta's firsthand knowledge of what he told investigators was Trump's directive to move the containers of records, the source said.
