Former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago golf club property manager appeared in a federal court in Florida on Monday for the first time after the Justice Department named him in an investigation of Trump’s handling of classified documents.

The case against Trump added Carlos De Oliveira as a co-defendant for allegedly hiding security camera footage from federal investigators. He is also accused of helping Trump aide Walt Nauta move boxes of classified material around Trump’s Mar-a-Lago property after the Department of Justice issued a subpoena seeking the materials.

De Oliveira is facing several charges related to the Trump classified documents case, including conspiracy to obstruct justice; altering, destroying, mutilating or concealing an object; corruptly altering, destroying, mutilating, or concealing a document, record or other object; and false statements and representations, according to CBS.

“The Justice Department has unfortunately decided to bring these charges,” Attorney John Irving said, according to CNN. “Now it’s time for them to put their money where their mouth is.”

Prosecutors in special counsel Jack Smith’s office filed the charges in a superseding indictment last week, which could carry a maximum sentence of up to 20 years in prison if convicted, Just the News reported.

According to The Associated Press, De Oliveira did not enter a plea on the four criminal charges he faces because he has not yet found a Florida-based attorney who could represent him.

A judge ordered him to turn over his passport to the court and sign an agreement saying he could not leave Florida without prior authorization and would face a $100,000 fine if he failed to appear in court.

Although De Oliveira heard the charges and received pre-trial orders, POLITICO reported the court could not fully arraign him after being unable to find legal legal representation authorized to practice in the South Florida district.

His arraignment is scheduled for Aug. 10 in Fort Pierce.

Prosecutors had been reportedly investigating De Oliveira for months over his communications with Mar-a-Lago IT expert Yuscil Taveras, who oversaw the surveillance camera footage at the property.

The indictment laid out the following interaction between De Oliveira and Taveras, who is only identified as “Employee 4,” on June 27, 2022, saying that “the boss” wanted the server deleted after Trump’s team had already received a subpoena for the surveillance footage.

Trump, co-defendant Walt Nauta, and De Oliveira were all charged in the new superseding indictment in connection with an alleged attempt to delete surveillance footage at the property. Both Trump and Nauta have pleaded not guilty to the charges in the case.

Steve Cheung, spokesman for the Trump campaign, reportedly said the superseding indictment filed last week is “nothing more than a continued desperate and flailing attempt by the Biden Crime Family and their Department of Justice to harass President Trump and those around him.”

Yellow, a trucking company that has been around for 99 years, will be filing for bankruptcy — costing up to 30,000 jobs, according to the company’s union. 

The trucking company, which was founded in 1924 in Oklahoma, has struggled with debt in recent years, taking about $700 million in loans from the federal government during the COVID pandemic. 

“Today’s news is unfortunate but not surprising. Yellow has historically proven that it could not manage itself despite billions of dollars in worker concessions and hundreds of millions in bailout funding from the federal government. This is a sad day for workers and the American freight industry,” said Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien.

In a company notice obtained by the Wall Street Journal, Yellow said that it was “shutting down its regular operations on July 28, 2023, closing and/or laying off employees at all of its locations.”

The company has already laid off hundreds of workers, with thousands more facing unemployment if the company officially files for bankruptcy, which is widely expected. Reported first-quarter debt for the company was $1.47 billion with just $806 million in assets, according to Forbes. 

According to the Journal, Yellow had a fleet of around 12,000 trucks which moved freight across the country for companies like Home Depot and Walmart. 

Union leadership has blasted the management of the company, saying that company brass was largely responsible for the financial problems. 

“Teamsters have kept this company afloat for more than a decade through billions of dollars in wage, pension, and work-rule concessions,” a union spokesman said. “Yellow couldn’t manage itself, and it wasn’t up to Teamsters to do it for them.”

The company has faced bankruptcy before, nearly collapsing in 2009, but managed to stay afloat after employees took wage cuts and it negotiated a $470 million debt-for-equity deal. 

Federal loans to the trucking company during the COVID pandemic have been heavily criticized, with one congressional report saying that federal policy during national emergencies needed to be evaluated. 

“While the national security loan program may have been a well-intentioned response to extraordinary events, it ultimately proved to be unnecessary and morphed into something Congress never intended — a risky taxpayer bailout for businesses, like Yellow, that struggled financially before the COVID-19 pandemic and were not critical to maintaining national security,” a congressional oversight report said.
