Judge to Review Possible Conflicts of Interest for Trump Co-Defendants' Lawyers in Classified Docs Case

Federal judge to hear whether lawyers for Trump's co-defendants have conflicts of interest in classified documents case. Prosecutors raised issues but did not request they be removed.

Concern is lawyers previously represented people now being considered as trial witnesses against their current clients. This could inhibit effective defense.

Most pressing issue is lawyer for co-defendant Walt Nauta previously represented Mar-a-Lago IT director Yuscil Taveras. Taveras shared evidence against Nauta and other co-defendant.

Second lawyer, for co-defendant Carlos De Oliveira, previously represented 3 potential witnesses who provided info leading to charges against De Oliveira.

Lawyers deny existence of conflicts, saying prior representations immaterial. But judge has discretion to decide if waivers needed for them to continue.
