Docket Watch: Trump Prosecuted in the Southern District of Florida
On June 9, 2023, the Justice Department unsealed the indictment of former President Donald Trump and Trump aide Waltine Nauta in connection with the investigation into the improper removal of classified documents from the White House to Mar-a-Lago. Only July 15, 2024, Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the federal indictment against the former president, ruling that Special Counsel Jack Smith was improperly appointed and funded. Smith appealed the decision to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals.
This page is intended to track any primary source documents or other materials relating to the former president's indictment and subsequent proceedings in the Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit and the District Court for the Southern District of Florida, as well as other relevant documents. This page will be updated regularly by Julien Berman as new documents and materials are released.

Defendant Nauta has not complied with that Order, and the deadline to do so has passed. Accordingly, on or before June 3, 2024, Defendant Nauta shall (1) publicly file Docket Entry 138 in compliance with the Court's prior Order 558 ; and (2) show cause, in writing, why he failed to comply with the Court's instructions by the original deadline of May 28, 2024.

PAPERLESS ORDER: In anticipation of the June 21, 2024, hearing on Defendant Trump's Motion to Dismiss the Indictment Based on the Unlawful Appointment and Funding of Special Counsel Jack Smith 326, the Special Counsel and Defendant Trump are directed as follows. On or before June 11, 2024, the parties shall separately file supplemental briefs, not to exceed 15 double-spaced pages (exclusive of title/certificates, etc.), on what impact, if any, the Supreme Court's decision in Consumer Financial Protection Bureau v. Community Financial Services Association of America, Ltd., 601 U.S. 416 (2024), has on Defendant Trump's Appropriations Clause challenge as raised in the Motion 326 . The parties' supplemental briefs also should clarify, in a separate section, what appears to be the position set forth in the parties' submissions--i.e., that no factual development is warranted or necessary to resolve either of the two challenges raised in the Motion, because the extent of the Special Counsel's authority and status is delimited and evaluated by the statutory and regulatory authorities cited in Appointment Order No. 5559-2022 (for purposes of the Appointments Clause challenge), and by that same Appointment Order and the cited Department of Justice Appropriations Act (for purposes of the Appropriations Clause challenge). The Court also authorizes (but does not require) the three already-approved amici 364 410 429 on the Motion--and only those amici--to file, by the June 11, 2024, deadline, supplemental briefs limited reasonably to the factual-development question raised above, not to exceed 10 double-spaced pages (exclusive of title/certificates, etc.).

Government's Response to Nauta's Motion to Reference Discovery (Entered: 05/28/2024)
PAPERLESS ORDER denying without prejudice for lack of meaningful conferral 581 the Special Counsel's Motion to Modify Conditions of Release. Upon review of Motion 581, Defendant Trump's procedural opposition 583, and the attached email correspondence between counsel [583-1], the Court finds the Special Counsel's pro forma "conferral" to be wholly lacking in substance and professional courtesy. It should go without saying that meaningful conferral is not a perfunctory exercise. Sufficient time needs to be afforded to permit reasonable evaluation of the requested relief by opposing counsel and to allow for adequate follow-up discussion as necessary about the specific factual and legal basis underlying the motion. This is so even when a party "assume[s]" the opposing party will oppose the proposed motion [583-1], and it applies with additional force when the relief sought -- at issue for the first time in this proceeding and raised in a procedurally distinct manner than in cited cases -- implicates substantive and/or Constitutional questions. Because the filing of the Special Counsel's Motion did not adhere to these basic requirements, it is due to be denied without prejudice. Any future, non-emergency motion brought in this case -- whether on the topic of release conditions or anything else -- shall not be filed absent meaningful, timely, and professional conferral. S.D. Fla. L.R. 88.9, 7.1(a)(3); see ECF No. 28 p. 2; ECF No. 82. Moreover, all certificates of conference going forward shall (1) appear in a separate section at the end of the motion, not embedded in editorialized footnotes; (2) specify, in objective terms, the exact timing, method, and substance of the conferral conducted; and (3) include, if requested by opposing counsel, no more than 200 words verbatim from the opposing side on the subject of conferral, again in objective terms. Failure to comply with these requirements may result in sanctions. In light of this Order, the Court determines to deny without prejudice Defendant Trump's Motion to Strike and for Sanctions 583.

PAPERLESS ORDER: To facilitate the public docketing of Defendant Nauta's Motion to Suppress Evidence and associated filings, and following a careful in camera review of such materials, Defendant Nauta and the Special Counsel are directed as follows. On or before May 2, 2024, the parties shall docket the Motion and all exhibits (A through G plus Nauta's FBI interview transcript and grand jury transcript, if attached), and associated filings (Opposition/Reply) and exhibits in unredacted form, with the following exceptions. First, consistent with the rules set forth in the Court's prior Orders 438 440 474, the parties shall redact potential government witness names (replacing them with anonymized labels provided in the most current Sealed Amended Index 484 ), ancillary names, and PII from the subject materials. Search warrant materials shall be filed in fully unredacted form except for names, PII, device numbers, license plate numbers, ID numbers, business names, and professional titles as necessary to shield witness identities. Makes and models of vehicles alone are not PII and shall not be redacted. Photographs shall remain unredacted with limited, targeted redactions of license plate numbers and faces in photographs.

To the extent Defendant Nauta attaches his grand jury transcript to the Motion, he shall attach it using the redaction instructions provided in the Court's earlier Order 466, with which Defendant Nauta must comply 490 . Finally, because the Special Counsel's prior filed Response lacked attachments 381, the Special Counsel is ordered to refile the Opposition, with attachments, in accordance with this Order.

In doing so, the parties are advised to docket the actual grand jury transcript/excerpts of "Person 11" as exhibits under seal (as opposed to merely filing stand-in cover pages as done in ECF Nos. 446-2, 448-2). Should any grand jury material clearly falling under Fed. R. Crim. P. 6(e) be quoted or specifically referenced in the Motion/Opposition/Replies or attachments, the parties shall make limited redactions to that grand jury material.

Attorney update in case as to Donald J. Trump, Waltine Nauta, Carlos De Oliveira. Attorney Matthew Seligman for Constitutional Lawyers, Former Government Officials, and State Democracy Defenders Action added (Entered: 4/11/2024)
PAPERLESS ORDER: In anticipation of the upcoming hearing on Defendant Nauta's Motion for a Bill of Particulars and Motion to Dismiss for Failure to State an Offense / Vagueness as Applied / Rule of Lenity ("Motions"), Defendant Nauta and the Special Counsel are directed as follows. On or before April 11, 2024, Defendant Nauta shall file the foregoing Motions on the public docket as set forth below. Given the undisputedly substantive nature of the Motions, the Court has applied the common-law right of access standard to this inquiry, deeming it sufficient to resolve the instant requests as briefed 339 348 . Under that standard, the Court finds that the Special Counsel's asserted witness-safety and harassment concerns are sufficient, at this juncture, to (1) shield the names of potential government witnesses and ancillary names in the Motions and in the attached transcript of Defendant Nauta's voluntary FBI interview, and (2) replace those names as applicable with anonymous descriptors as used in the Superseding Indictment 85 or as listed in the Special Counsel's forthcoming index [see ECF No. 438 p. 16]. Any PII shall be redacted for the same reasons. With respect to the substantive statements contained in Defendant Nauta's FBI interview, the Court reaches a different conclusion. For similar but even stronger reasons than those articulated in the Court's recent Order applying Rule 16 438 --and after balancing the parties' asserted interests in this case of significant public concern--the Court finds the Special Counsel's sweeping request and generalized rationales inadequate to overcome the public's common-law interest in access to these materials. Chicago Tribune Co. v. Bridgestone/Firestone, Inc., 263 F.3d 1304 (11th Cir. 2001); Romero v. Drummond Co., Inc., 480 F.3d 1234 (11th Cir. 2007); Callahan v. United Network for Organ Sharing, 17 F.4th 1356 (11th Cir. 2021). Accordingly, Defendant Nauta may attach his FBI interview transcript but shall (for the reasons stated previously) redact the names of any potential government witnesses and ancillary names where referenced therein. The final item of redaction implicated in the Motions is the transcript of Defendant Nauta's grand jury testimony taken on June 21, 2022. For now, Defendant Nauta shall file that transcript under seal in its entirety because presumably it remains subject to protection under Fed. R. Crim. P. 6(e). The parties shall be prepared, however, to present argument at the hearing on the need for continued sealing of that transcript given the Special Counsel's partial use of that transcript in a public motion 381 , and any other factors related to the need for continued secrecy under the circumstances. After filing the Motions in accordance with this Order (but before the hearing), Defendant Nauta shall file the associated Replies to which the Special Counsel has indicated no objection 423 . No redactions beyond those authorized in this Order are permitted. The Court expresses no view on any other seal request or on the applicability of any other legal standards. Signed by Judge Aileen M. Cannon on 4/10/2024. (Entered: 4/10/2024)
PAPERLESS ORDER: On or before May 9, 2024, Defendants shall file Rule 16 expert disclosures and any defense CIPA Section 5(a) written notice based on classified discovery produced to date.

Standard rules regarding classified filings with the Court apply, as set forth in the CIPA protective orders 150 151 152 . Paragraph 4 of the Court's Order 283 on sealing requests and procedures also remains in effect. Signed by Judge Aileen M. Cannon on 4/10/2024. (Entered: 4/10/2024)

The Court has reviewed the Motion, Defendants' Opposition 248, the Special Counsel's Reply 251, and is fully advised in the premises.

The Special Counsel's Motion 208 is therefore denied without prejudice. Signed by Judge Aileen M. Cannon on 1/12/2024. (Entered: 01/12/2024)
