Waltine Torre Nauta Jr.[1] (born 1982 or 1983[2]) is an American valet and body man to U.S. president Donald Trump.

In June 2023, Trump and Nauta were indicted by a federal grand jury in a criminal case over violations of the Espionage Act and related offenses.

In February 2025, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit dismissed the case against Nauta upon the federal prosecutor's request.

[1] Among his Navy postings were stints with a strike fighter squadron in California, and at a submarine base in Georgia.

[11] He was responsible for responding to the presidential call button, including when the president requested Diet Cokes, which Nauta would bring to Trump on a silver platter.

[1] Nauta was accused of sexual harassment and revenge porn by several women in spring 2021, which led to him being reassigned and his security credentials being docked.

[27] The federal magistrate judge twice postponed Nauta's arraignment so Stanley Woodward—Nauta's Washington, D.C. lawyer, whose fees are paid by Trump's Save America political action committee—could find local counsel admitted to practice in the Southern District of Florida with whom to work, as required by court rules.

[34] Nauta ultimately hired Sasha Dadan (a criminal defense lawyer and former public defender whose main office is in Fort Pierce, Florida, where the trial judge would be based) to co-counsel with Woodward.

That week, Woodward was anticipated to be in another courthouse defending a different man (Federico Guillermo “Freddie” Klein) tied to Trump, who was on trial related to the U.S. Capitol storming; the government opposed the request.

[38][39] Nauta's trial is scheduled to follow that of Trump's, which prosecutors told the judge they would like to begin on December 11.

[47][48] In July 2024, Judge Cannon held that the Justice Department appointed special counsel Jack Smith illegally.

Smith ended the criminal case against Trump after his November presidential election win but appealed the dismissal of Nauta and De Olivera.
