DOJ Raises Conflict Concerns for Trump Aide's Attorney in Mar-a-Lago Case

The Justice Department has requested a hearing over potential conflicts of interest for Walt Nauta's attorney Stanley Woodward, who has represented multiple individuals connected to the investigation.
Prosecutors are concerned Woodward's representation of both Nauta and potential government witnesses could compromise his loyalty and lead to improper use of client information.
The request comes amid new charges for Trump, Nauta and a Mar-a-Lago manager over classified documents and deleting security footage.
Woodward has been informed about the risks but claims he didn't see an issue in representing multiple involved individuals.
Prosecutors want the court to evaluate the conflicts and ensure Nauta fully understands the risks associated with his current representation.
