The arraignment for Donald Trump’s latest codefendant in the classified documents criminal case was postponed Monday, as prosecutors argue that an expanded indictment shouldn’t change the schedule the judge set leading up to a May 20 trial.
Carlos De Oliveira, a property manager at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, made his first appearance Monday at the Miami federal courthouse after a grand jury returned an indictment on July 27 adding him to the case. He didn’t enter an initial plea because he hasn’t secured a Florida-licensed attorney.
