Court Dismisses Classified Documents Case Against Trump Co-Defendants

The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals ends the legal proceedings against Walt Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira, marking the conclusion of the Mar-a-Lago documents investigation.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit dismissed the classified documents case against Walt Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira at the Justice Department's request.
This decision follows the dismissal of charges against Donald Trump last year, which stemmed from the appointment of special counsel Jack Smith being ruled unlawful by a federal judge.
The Justice Department cited longstanding policy prohibiting the prosecution of a sitting president as the reason for dropping the case against Trump after his re-election.
Nauta and De Oliveira were accused of assisting Trump in concealing classified documents and obstructing the investigation, but both pleaded not guilty.
The case's dismissal concludes all federal criminal proceedings related to Trump's handling of classified documents during his first term in office.
