De Oliveira, represented by Donald Murrell, pleaded not guilty to the charges before U.S. Magistrate Judge Shaniek Mills Maynard.
These charges come after an investigation by special counsel Jack Smith, who was tasked by Attorney General Merrick Garland to look into Trump’s alleged mishandling of classified documents.
According to CBS News, De Oliveira is accused of asking another Mar-a-Lago employee to delete “the server” at the property in order to get rid of security footage.
Last week, both Trump and Nauta pleaded not guilty to new federal charges in the classified documents case. Trump is facing a total of 40 criminal charges, including possession of information regarding defense and weapons capabilities of both the United States and foreign countries, as well as U.S. nuclear programs.
Trump has vehemently denied all wrongdoing and stated that the prosecution is politically motivated.
In his first speech after the indictment was announced, Trump said, ”The ridiculous and baseless indictment of me by the Biden administration’s weaponized Department of Injustice will go down as among the most horrific abuses of power in the history of our country.”
President Joe Biden is also under investigation for alleged mishandling of classified documents, including their storage at a think tank in Washington, D.C., and his Delaware home garage.
The investigation into the Biden document mishandling is being conducted by special counsel Robert Hur, and no charges or conclusions have been made yet.
