Walt Nauta, Donald Trump's valet and co-defendant in the classified documents criminal case in Florida, told a grand jury that his boss would throw papers "on the floor" when he "would leave for the evening," according to a new filing in court.
Nauta, who has so far stood by Trump's side in the case being overseen by the Trump-appointed jurist Aileen Cannon, was apparently more candid in his grand jury testimony than some might expect.
In a filing made public on Friday, citizens got their first look at certain grand jury testimony by Nauta himself, according to a reporter.

Alan Feuer of the New York Times flagged one particularly interesting section of the court transcript.
"Walt Nauta, Trump's valet, recalls in his grand jury testimony that officials in the White House Office of Records Management would pick up 'all the papers' Trump 'threw on the floor' each 'time he would leave for the evening,'" Feuer reported Friday.
In the section Feuer is alluding to, Nauta is asked what he remembers "about interacting with the records management people."
"What I recall is every time he would leave for the evening, they would come up, and they would collect all the papers that he threw on the floor; or that -- at the time, we understood that he didn't need any more," Nauta said.
