Donald Trump's team promised his valet Walt Nauta that if the former president earns a second term he would be pardoned in the classified documents scandal.
Nauta, Trump's co-defendant in the case, was charged with lying to the FBI. But the valet was told that he would be pardoned if Trump earned another White House term, according to a November 2022 interview with the FBI.
The interview was given to the FBI by a witness called 'Person 16' and described as someone who worked in Trump's White House. A redacted summary was made public on Monday.
The federal classified documents trial is one of the four criminal cases against Trump. This one stems from the former president removing classified documents from the White House and bringing the materials to his residence at Mar-a-Lago after leaving office in 2021.
