Trump Is Paying His Diet Coke Valet's Legal Fees

[EarlG]

This fall has been difficult for Donald Trump. His daughter Ivanka Trump abandoned his political campaign, he was dubbed the biggest loser of the GOP’s disappointing midterms, he accidentally dined with more antisemites than he bargained for, his business was convicted of criminal tax fraud, and the Justice Department appointed a special counsel to continue investigating him. But there has been one ray of sunshine: It appears the bond between Trump and his former Diet Coke valet remains intact.

In October, it seemed that Walt Nauta had turned on Trump — as if all the years he spent fetching fizzy aspartame water when the president pushed his famous Diet Coke button meant nothing to him. ... Now the Post reports that despite his apparent betrayal, the Save America PAC is still covering legal bills for Nauta along with other key witnesses, like Trump adviser Kash Patel, in the classified-document investigation.

Trump Was Betrayed by His Diet Coke Valet

Donald Trump could ultimately be done in by his Diet Coke habit. Not physically (though drinking 12 diet sodas a day doesn’t seem great for your health) but legally. The Washington Post reported recently that his former White House valet — the man who had to respond every time the president pressed his famous Oval Office Diet Coke button — provided key evidence that led to the FBI’s search of Mar-a-Lago in August.

A Trump employee told federal agents the former president personally directed them to move boxes of documents from a Mar-a-Lago storage area to his private residence, according to the Post. Hours later, the New York Times said this was corroborated by surveillance footage that showed the aide moving boxes both before and after Trump’s advisers received a subpoena from the Justice Department in May for classified documents taken from the White House. Together, the witness account and the footage provided the most direct evidence that Trump tried to illegally obstruct the government’s search.
