Former President Donald Trump’s valet, Walt Nauta, is making headlines as he seeks to toss out charges tied to classified documents at Mar-a-Lago. Nauta’s defense? He claimed during an FBI interview in May 2022 that he mistook boxes containing secret papers for several boxes of Trump’s vast collection of hair care products that are part of Trump’s daily routine.
During a riveting FBI interview in May 2022, Nauta reportedly claimed he couldn’t tell the difference between classified documents and Trump’s hairspray and other makeup items. This, despite the documents being at the heart of one of four legal battles against the former president. Nauta faces serious charges, including allegedly fibbing to the FBI about the whereabouts of these mystery boxes.
Trump stands accused of unlawfully retaining classified documents post-presidency, and even tampering with surveillance footage at the Florida resort. Prosecutors claim Nauta was spotted shuffling boxes at Trump’s behest, just before the FBI came knocking.
Trump has vehemently denied all charges, labeling them as politically motivated attempts to undermine him. He currently faces historic legal proceedings, including trials related to the 2020 election and allegations of falsifying business records. But with the spotlight now on his beauty routine, it seems even hairspray can’t keep this story under wraps in this hair-raising tale of politics and pomade!
