Trump stored classified documents in Mar-a-Lago ballroom, bathroom, and shower: indictment
Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy reacts to Trump’s indictment after the DOJ released details of the charges against the former president on ‘America Reports.’
Mar-a-Lago property manager Carlos de Oliveira pleaded not guilty Tuesday to charges stemming from Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into former President Trump’s alleged improper retention of classified records.
De Oliveira pleaded not guilty Tuesday to charges that came as part of a superseding indictment last month.
De Oliveira faced two obstruction counts based on allegations that the defendants "attempted to delete surveillance video footage at The Mar-a-Lago Club in summer 2022."

Trump was indicted in June on charges stemming from Smith’s investigation into his alleged improper retention of classified records after his presidency. Trump pleaded not guilty to 37 counts, including willful retention of national defense information, conspiracy to obstruct justice and false statements.

Trump aide and valet Waltine Nauta was also charged out of Smith's investigation. Nauta has also pleaded not guilty.
Meanwhile, Trump, on Monday, faced his fourth indictment, this time out of Fulton County, Georgia, where District Attorney Fani Willis has been investigating his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election in the state.
Willis also charged 18 others out of the probe—including former Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, former attorneys Rudy Giuliani, Jenna Ellis, Sidney Powell, John Eastman, Kenneth Chesebro and Jeff Clark, among others.
Trump and all 18 other defendants face a racketeering charge, along with other state charges.
