If a defense lawyer’s hiring is delayed, is justice impaired? As of Friday, there was still no word that a South Florida criminal defense lawyer with federal court credentials had been retained to help represent Waltine Nauta, former White House valet, and now personal aide and co-defendant of Donald J. Trump in the former President’s classified documents case. Under local court rules, Nauta, 40, needs a Florida Bar member who practices in the Southern District of Florida to represent him. The absence of such an attorney has prevented Nauta from being formally arraigned in the case.
