Court formally dismisses case against Trump's co-defendants in Mar-a-Lago documents probe

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit dismissed the case against Donald Trump's co-defendants, Walt Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira, on February 11, 2025, as requested by the Department of Justice.
The charges against Nauta and De Oliveira involved obstructing justice by allegedly assisting Trump in moving classified documents at Mar-a-Lago, as reported by NPR.
Former Special Counsel Jack Smith had previously claimed that Trump illegally retained sensitive government materials and that Nauta and De Oliveira assisted him in concealing information from the DOJ.
The dismissal of the case raises questions about the legality of special counsel appointments, as noted by Judge Aileen Cannon and Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.
