Prosecutors allege that Nauta helped pack Trump's boxes before he left the White House and repeatedly moved them around Mar-a-Lago at Trump's requests.
Trump and Nauta are co-defendants in a federal indictment, with Trump accused of directing Nauta to move boxes of documents to conceal them from Trump's attorney, the FBI, and the grand jury.
Nauta was booked and taken into custody on Tuesday before attending their arraignments and requested an extension on the arraignment and needs local counsel in the case to sponsor him.
Trump pleaded not guilty in the case on Tuesday.
The article reports that David Nauta, a defendant in a criminal case, was asked if he knew where certain boxes had been stored but he replied "I wish, I wish I could tell you.
I don't know.
I don't — I honestly just don't know." The attorney of Nauta declined to comment on the matter.
