The judge is pressing defense attorneys and prosecutors in the classified documents case over whether obstruction charges against Trump's co-defendant, Carlos De Oliveira, should be dropped.
Special counsel Jack Smith's allegations that Donald Trump 's close aides obstructed the Justice Department's investigation into his alleged mishandling of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago are facing their first major test during a hearing Friday.
Walt Nauta, who works as Trump's personal valet, and De Oliveira, who has worked as property manager at Mar-a-Lago, are accused of conspiring to help Trump hide documents at the Florida estate after he left the White House and lying to the FBI in interviews about their alleged involvement in moving the documents.
