Walt Nauta, an aide to former President Donald Trump, was spotted exiting Trump's airplane at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport as part of the former president's travel party to his arraignment.
Nauta, who is a co-defendant in Trump's classified documents case in federal court in Florida, made the trip to the nation's capital with Trump as the former president is arraigned on charges related to his alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election.

The Trump aide was spotted alongside one of the former president's attorneys, Todd Blanche, walking out of "Trump Force One" at the airport in Arlington, Virginia.
Nauta was charged with conspiracy to obstruct justice, withholding a document or record, corruptly concealing a document or record, concealing a document in a federal investigation, scheming to conceal, false statements and representations, along with altering, destroying, mutilating, or concealing an object, and corruptly altering, destroying, mutilating, or concealing an object.
The Department of Justice expressed concern in a filing on Wednesday over the lawyer representing Nauta in the classified documents case.
The DOJ has said that attorney Stanley Woodward has represented "at least seven other individuals who have been questioned in connection with the investigation." The 10-page letter requests that a hearing be held to "inform them of potential risks and inquire into possible waivers."
An arraignment for Nauta and Trump has been scheduled for Aug. 10 for the additional charges filed against them in last week's superseding indictment, but it is unknown if the two will have to appear for the arraignment in Fort Pierce, Florida.
