Good morning to you. It is Sunday, July the 30th. I'm Ali Velshi. Until recently, you probably

0:11.9

hadn't heard of Walt Nata or Carlos Di Oliveira, the two men who have been criminally indicted and

0:18.2

listed as Donald Trump's co-defendants in the classified documents matter.

0:22.2

They are little-known low-level staffers who aren't involved with Trump's campaign operations.

0:27.1

They work directly for the former president, reportedly fetching him Diet Coke through the day

0:31.8

and making sure his Palm Beach residence Mar-a-Lago is well kept.

1:21.5

him full time. We know less about Carlos Di Oliveira. We don't even have a photo of him, and we

1:26.7

might not get our

1:27.5

first glimpse of him until tomorrow when he's scheduled to make his first appearance in federal

1:31.6

court in Miami. But from what we do know, Di Olivera is 56 years old. He's worked in Mara Lago

1:37.7

in a number of jobs for about 20 years. He's held multiple roles, but currently he's the
