Trump,Co-Defendants,Motion To Dismiss

Katherine Faulders, Laura Romero, and Alexander Mallin report on the arguments presented by Walt Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira, co-defendants of Trump, in their motion to dismiss the charges against them. The judge did not address the trial date, which is expected to be delayed.

Katherine Faulders, Laura Romero and Alexander Mallinheard arguments Friday from Trump's co-defendants Walt Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira on motions to have the charges against them dismissed.The judge also did not address the date of the upcoming trial, which is currently on the public docket for May 20 but is expected to be delayed following recent arguments from both the defense and the special counsel who brought the case.

Nauta's attorney Stanley Woodward argued that the case should be dismissed based on "unconstitutional vagueness," arguing that the use of the word "corruptly" in the indictment as applied to Nauta is "void for vagueness." Woodward, on Friday, made a lengthy argument about the movement of the boxes in question and his client's knowledge of whether the boxes contained classified markings.

"We don't know how the boxes that contained classified markings got ," Woodward argued. "I can't prepare Mr. Nauta's defense."
