The Special Counsel’s Office on Friday urged the Mar-a-Lago judge to neither throw out the case against former President Donald Trump’s valet and co-defendant nor allow Walt Nauta to pursue discovery based on claims, “without merit,” that prosecutors are treating him differently from similarly situated witnesses and with vindictiveness or “animus” towards him.

Special counsel Jack Smith first dismantled Nauta’s assertion that two uncharged Mar-a-Lago employees, identified only as Persons 10 and 11, were selectively treated as helpful to the prosecution while he was charged with crimes over his “surreptitious box movement,” which allegedly occurred before a Trump lawyer searched for classified documents that the government was seeking to recover from a storage room in June 2022.
