Walt Nauta Trumps aide pleads not guilty in Mar-a-Lago documents case
The navy veteran, who was indicted at the same time as Mr Trump, faces six charges, including conspiracy and making false statements.
The former president pleaded not guilty during an arraignment last month.
It's not clear when Mr Trump's and Mr Nauta's trial will begin.
Prosecutors have accused Mr Nauta, 40, of moving boxes containing top-secret government documents at Mar-a-Lago for the former president and then helping to hide them from federal officials who demanded them back.
His arraignment was initially expected to take place at the same time as Mr Trump's, but it was pushed back because Mr Nauta had yet to find a local Florida lawyer.
He is now being represented by criminal defence attorney Sasha Dadan.
Mr Nauta smiled at reporters but did not say anything when he arrived at court in Miami, Florida for the hearing, according to Reuters.
Stanley Woodward, who previously represented Mr Nauta during other hearings, entered the plea on behalf of his client on Thursday and waived the reading of the indictment, according to US media reports.
Mr Trump is facing 37 counts in the Mar-a-Lago case, including wilful retention of national defence information and obstruction of justice.
