Former President Donald Trump is scheduled to be arraigned in Fort Pierce, Florida, next week after the Justice Department charged him with three additional felonies related to classified documents in a superseding indictment last week.

Trump and his aide and co-defendant Walt Nauta, who is also facing new charges, are scheduled to appear the morning of Aug. 10 before U.S. Magistrate Judge Shaniek Mills Maynard at the Alto Lee Adams, Sr. U.S. Courthouse, according to a court order filed Tuesday.

They may not have to physically attend the arraignment, however. Special counsel Jack Smith, who is leading the prosecution, said in a court filing last week he would not oppose Trump and Nauta waiving their appearance if the court approved.

The new charges stem from fresh allegations made by Smith that Trump, Nauta, and a third defendant, Carlos De Oliveira, conspired to delete surveillance footage in an attempt to prevent federal investigators from obtaining it.

De Oliveira, who was not named in the initial indictment but was charged with four felonies in the revised one, appeared for his arraignment Monday in Fort Pierce. While he arrived with a Washington, D.C.-based attorney, because he had not obtained one who practiced in Florida, his arraignment was delayed and is now also scheduled for Aug. 10.

With the inclusion of De Oliveira on the updated indictment, Trump's so-called "speedy trial clock" reset to match that of the new defendant, according to a separate court document filed Tuesday.

"On July 27, the grand jury returned a superseding indictment adding a new Defendant, Carlos De Oliveira. That restarted the Speedy Trial clock for all three Defendants," prosecutors wrote.

They added that if the "speedy trial clock" began to run for any reason after May 20, 2024, the current start date of the trial, then a trial must begin within 70 days.
