Carlos De Oliveira was indicted alongside former president Donald Trump and his co-worker Waltine “Walt” Nauta — all accused of seeking to delete security footage the Justice Department was requesting as part of its classified documents investigation.
hope that the former president’s employees could explain what had happened inside Mar-a-Lago, and suspicion that whatever misdeeds may have occurred, they might have been aided by servants who stayed loyal to the boss — even after the FBI came knocking.De Oliveira was one of the first people they turned to.
Investigators’ interest in De Oliveira started to rise when security camera footage from the mansion showed him helping Nauta move boxes back into the storage area more than two months earlier, on June 2, 2022, the people said. That was just a day before a federal prosecutor and agents visited Mar-a-Lago to recover classified documents in response to a grand jury subpoena and to look around the place.
Agents had another concern: The lock on the door to the storage room was flimsy. The officials urged staff to put a better lock on the door, which De Oliveira did — using a hasp and a padlock to keep it secure, the people said. If there were still highly sensitive classified documents in the room, such a lock was far from sufficient, but it was better than nothing.
According to a superseding indictment unsealed Thursday, De Oliveira told Taveras — identified as “Employee 4” in the court document —The employee replied “that he would not know how to do that, and that he did not believe that he would have the rights to do that,” according to the indictment.
