<p>The defense attorney for Donald Trump&#8217;s valet Walt Nauta complained Friday that he received threats after special counsel Jack Smith revealed that a Mar-a-Lago IT director had admitted to giving false testimony in the former president&#8217;s classified documents criminal case.</p>
<p>The lawyer, Stanley Woodward, had represented IT director Yuscil Taveras when his client gave that false testimony to a grand jury, according to Smith&#8217;s recent court filing.</p>
<p>Only after Taveras dropped Woodward and got another lawyer did he change his story, admitting he was told to destroy security footage, Smith said in Tuesday&#8217;s filing.</p>
<p>Woodward on Friday blasted Smith&#8217;s filing as a &#8220;brazen and overt effort&#8221; to influence the case&#8217;s judge and &#8220;the court of public opinion&#8221; by quoting from a sealed document Woodward had previously submitted in connection with issues surrounding his representation of Taveras.</p>
<p>Woodward&#8217;s outrage toward the prosecutor was laid out in his new filing in federal court for the Southern District of Florida, after Smith raised concerns about the defense attorney&#8217;s potential conflicts of interest in the case.</p>
<p>Woodward currently represents Nauta and other witnesses in the case, but he no longer represents Taveras.</p>
<p>On Friday evening, Smith in a new filing responding to Woodward&#8217;s claims said that permission for public disclosure of &#8220;all information&#8221; related to a hearing in Washington on Woodward&#8217;s potential conflicts in the case &#8220;was expressly granted&#8221; on July 31 by a judge there after the special counsel requested authorization of such disclosure.</p>
<p>Trump, Nauta and Mar-a-Lago maintenance worker Carlos De Oliveira are charged in federal court in Florida with crimes related to Trump&#8217;s retention of classified documents after leaving the White House. They have all pleaded not guilty.</p>

<p>Among other things, the defendants are accused of a scheme that aimed to erase surveillance security footage at Mar-a-Lago — Trump&#8217;s private club in Palm Beach, Florida — showing boxes of classified records being moved around there by Nauta and De Oliveira.</p>
<p>Nauta&#8217;s legal fees are being paid for by Trump&#8217;s political action committee, according to public election commission filings.</p>
<p>Woodward disputes the idea that he currently has a conflict of interest, and he asked Judge Aileen Cannon in his filing Friday for a week to submit a detailed rebuttal explaining his position.</p>
<p>Woodward also revealed Friday that Smith&#8217;s disclosure of the Taveras situation has created blowback for the lawyer.</p>
<p>&#8220;In the time since the government&#8217;s submission, defense counsel has received several threatening and/or disparaging emails and phone calls.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;This is the result of the Special Counsel&#8217;s callous disregard for how their unnecessary actions affect and influence the public and the lives of the individuals involved in this matter,&#8221; Woodward wrote.</p>
<p>De Oliveira is accused of asking Taveras to delete the footage at Trump&#8217;s behest.</p>
<p>On Tuesday, Smith filed a document raising concerns that Woodward has a conflict of interest because he might have to cross-examine his former client, Taveras.</p>
<p>Smith noted that Woodward was serving as Taveras&#8217; lawyer when the IT director testified before a Washington, D.C., grand jury in March.</p>
<p>During that testimony, Taveras &#8220;repeatedly denied or claimed not to recall any contacts or conversations about the security footage at Mar-a-Lago,&#8221; Smith wrote.</p>
<p>On June 20, Smith&#8217;s office notified Taveras, &#8220;through Mr. Woodward &#8230; that he was the target of a grand jury investigation in the District of Columbia into whether he committed perjury&#8221; during his testimony in March, the prosecutor wrote in the filing.</p>
<p>After the chief federal district judge in Washington had a federal public defender give advice to Taveras about the potential conflict of being represented by Nauta&#8217;s attorney, Taveras told the judge &#8220;he no longer wished to be represented by Mr. Woodward,&#8221; Smith wrote.</p>
<p>And &#8220;immediately after&#8221; accepting the public defender as his new lawyer, Taveras &#8220;retracted his prior false testimony,&#8221; Smith wrote.</p>
<p>Taveras also &#8220;provided information that implicated Nauta, De Oliveira, and Trump in efforts to delete security camera footage, as set forth in the superseding indictment,&#8221; the prosecutor wrote.</p>
<p>Smith asked Cannon, the Florida judge, to schedule a hearing on Woodward&#8217;s alleged conflict of interests with &#8220;Mr. Woodward&#8217;s clients present and independent counsel available to provide them with advice should they so desire.&#8221;</p>
<p>In his filing Friday, Woodward wrote that Smith &#8220;did not, and still has not, alleged any actual conflict in defense counsel&#8217;s representation of Mr. Nauta.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;It has not done so for the obvious fact that no conflict would arise unless and until Trump Employee 4 [as Taveras is identified in court filings] testified against Mr. Nauta,&#8221; Woodward wrote.</p>
