about a lot is his hardship with walt nauta. nauta is one of his closest aides. he left the white house where he was a military valet under trump. and essentially has been by trump s side since. he has traveled everywhere with donald trump. he rides the plane. he s up in bedminster. when he goes daown to mar-a-lag. he s considered one of the most loyal followers. it s not the same relationship even though carlos lawyer is paid for by one of the super pacs, a lawyer with an enormous amount of money from trump s super pac. it s not as clear what impact he s had on truck s inner circle. they know him. they were monitoring this could happen. but they don t seem to have the same relationship with carlos de la vera as they do with walt nauta. and that s something that beer going to be we re going to be watching closely. how exactly does this play out. what is the level of loyalty here between these three men.
kaitlan collins has been working her sources. you re getting more information. what are you hearing? we re trying to figure out more. information about carlos has been added. he used to park cars at mar-a-lago. an aide who works there and has odd jobs that he did. there were questions when the trump indictment on this came down if he would be named as a co-defendant. what they found. i don t think it was totally clear what was going to look like. when it came out, we had conversations with trump s legal team about whether or not he was someone who would be named and why he would not be named. he was questioned extensively by investigators here just as walt nauta was and other employees at mar-a-lago. they questioned everyone at mar-a-lago. but carlos was one of them because he had conversations with walt nauta about moving boxes. he was the one who put fitte members of jay bratt, other doj prosecutors, came down and told the trump team to secure the room further.
so he s certainly someone who has a role in the sense that he was up and close personal with events that transpired. i think the question is why is he being added now, and what that signifies here. he s also the person who there was great reporting about the pool at mar-a-lago being drained, and it affecting servers. and it was an employee who did it. it was carlos who we are told was the one who allegedly dradraen drain anne drained the pool. those are the questions of why he s named in this. at some point we ll find out who s paying the legal bills for this new co-defendant. reporter: his attorney is john irving. i m not totally obviously what you re referencing is a lot of these attorneys, walt nauta s attorney, for example, stan woo woodward, has firm paid a lot of money by trump s super pac. they re paying his legal fees. i m not sure, i ll check in carlos attorney is on there. that would be a question that would signify why he is named one of the important
provided with all of the surveillance footage, if there was any effort to keep it from them, if anyone tried to tamper with it. there were also questions from investigators about conversations between people like walt nauta, potentially carlos, and security folks up in new york. so there s clearly been a focus on whether they have been given, the investigators have been given all of the surveillance footage that is relevant to their investigation. and the fact that not only is carlos on this footage, but also that he was one of the people taking photos of exactly where the cameras were, this is all very significant. we know that they ve been continuing the investigation down in florida, seeking additional evidence, even sending an additional target letter to someone who we haven t mentioned here. the fact that there could be additional charges, the fact that they ve added another defendant is not surprising. we re going to look closely at what additional charges are added here, and if,
superseding indictment against donald trump, walt nauta, and carlos de la vera, it jumped out that they specifically say in this new indictment just released trump endeavored to obstruct the fbi and grand jury investigations and conceal his continued retention of classified documents by among other things suggesting that his attorney falsely represent to the fbi and grand jury that trump did not have documents called for by the grand jury subpoena. then it goes on point after point after point of all the things they re alleging he did which are potentially criminal. and i think one of the things that this goes to the heart of which we knew already from the obstruction charges that were in here, but the surveillance footage and the idea that the boss wanted it deleted. obviously a reference to trump, is trump has been arguing that he had a right to have these documents and that he had declassified them. the idea that he went to great lengths, according to his own employees, to try to
