Special counsel Jack Smith on Friday urged the federal judge overseeing the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case to enforce certain redactions on two court filings recently submitted by former President Donald Trumps valet Waltine Walt Nauta.
Nauta faces charges of conspiracy to obstruct, making false statements to the FBI, and withholding documents connected to an alleged scheme to delete Mar-a-Lago camera footage and conceal boxes of classified documents from a grand jury.

She needs to be removed from the case immediately.
