WASHINGTON (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 28th July, 2023) US Special Counsel Jack Smith has added the third individual in the Trump Mar-a-Lago classified documents case, the court documents revealed.

The new defendant Carlos De Oliveira was the maintenance worker and allegedly helped Trump's aide, Walt Nauta move 30 boxes with classified documents around Mar-a-Lago following the Justice Department's first subpoena of Trump in May, the US media reported.

Trump was indicted in June on 37 charges related to the mishandling of classified documents, including those the FBI uncovered in a raid of his Mar-a-Largo residence in August.
