A third defendant has been charged as part of the special counsel’s investigation into former president Donald Trump’s handling of classified documents, according to reports from several news outlets.

The new charge or charges against Carlos De Oliveira come more than a month after Trump and his valet Walt Nauta were charged in the case.

De Oliveira was a maintenance worker who helped Nauta move boxes of classified documents around Mar-a-Lago after Trump received his first subpoena from the Justice Department last May, according to CNN.

It was not immediately clear what charge or charges De Oliveira is facing.

Trump’s presidential campaign reacted to the news in a statement on Thursday: “This is nothing more than a continued desperate and flailing attempt by the Biden Crime Family and their Department of Justice to harass President Trump and those around him.”

“Deranged Jack Smith knows that they have no case and is casting about for any way to salvage their illegal witch hunt and to get someone other than Donald Trump to run against Crooked Joe Biden,” the statement added.

Trump is facing 37 counts in the classified documents case, including willful retention of national-defense information, conspiracy to obstruct justice, withholding a document or record, corruptly concealing a document or record, concealing a document in a federal investigation, scheme to conceal, and making false statements and representations.

Nauta, a Navy veteran who went to work as Trump’s personal aide at Mar-a-Lago after the 2020 election, is facing six charges as part of the classified-documents probe, including conspiracy to obstruct, withholding a document or record, and scheme to conceal.

Both Nauta and Trump have pleaded not guilty.

Senior Trump aides have described Nauta in the media as a “very sheepish” person who “asks permission for everything” but was “willing to do whatever” for Trump.

Nauta served as a valet while Trump was in office. A valet is a member of the military who works as a close personal assistant or butler. Nauta was the only White House valet who left Washington, D.C., for Trump’s personal residence at Mar-a-Lago in Florida after he lost the 2020 election.

In September 2021, he left the military to work as a personal aide to Trump at Mar-a-Lago. Last year he was put on the payroll of Save America, a Trump political action committee, making an annual salary of $135,000, according to the Washington Post. 

Surveillance footage allegedly showed him moving boxes out of a storage room at Mar-a-Lago before and after the DOJ issued a subpoena in May 2022 demanding that all classified documents be returned.

A source told the Washington Post that Nauta initially denied moving the boxes of documents during an interview with the FBI but in a second interview said Trump told him to move the boxes.
