Former Watergate prosecutor Nick Akerman has criticized former President Donald Trump for his apparent desire to preemptively pardon body man Walt Nauta for his assistance in concealing stolen classified documents in the Mar-a-Lago case. Akerman compared Trump’s promise to the one he made to Roger Stone and Paul Manafort, both of whom were convicted of crimes related to the Russia investigation. Akerman believes that Trump’s pardons are part of a pattern of obstruction of justice and that Nauta may have been motivated to conceal evidence because of Trump’s promise of a pardon.

A federal court filing has revealed that the FBI assigned the code name ‘Plasmic Echo’ to its investigation into former President Donald Trump’s handling of classified documents. The documents, recovered from 12 of 15 boxes returned by Trump in 2024, prompted the FBI’s initial review. Trump is facing 40 charges related to mishandling classified information and obstructing their retrieval. The Espionage Act and obstruction of justice charges are central to the case, with Trump’s defense hinged on the argument that he designated the records as personal under the Presidential Records Act. However, the court has dismissed this claim, paving the way for the prosecution to proceed.
