The transcript from Walt Nauta’s May 26, 2022 FBI interview, at which he allegedly lied about his knowledge of Trump’s boxes of classified documents, has been released.
Several times, Nauta comes off as a skilled liar. For example, when the FBI asked reiterated that they wanted to know where the boxes that were sent to NARA in January 2022 had been stored and if there were more, Nauta changed the subject to the Embassy in Madrid.
But when the FBI asked Nauta what was in Trump’s storage rooms, he claimed that Trump hoarded hair spray.
He later went on to claim that Trump had so many golf shoes, but the FBI noted those wouldn’t be in bankers boxes.
Ultimately, Nauta came off like a guy who was wildly impressed with his own stature.
It is like, wow. Now how do I transition from a guy who used to scramble eggs to now I’m working for a former President?
It’s not surprising he was unwilling to give that up. I mean, if Trump regains the Presidency it will all have been worth it.
