Former Guam resident Waltine Nauta is now a key person in a federal investigation into classified documents stored at former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate.

An article in The Guardian reports that Waltine Nauta "was seen on security footage moving boxes out of a storage room before and after the justice department issued a subpoena in May," at the order of former President Trump. National media report that the justice department interviewed him several times. Federal Elections Commission documents also show Nauta on a list of disbursements by the former president's political action committee, Save America.

KUAM has learned that Nauta, who is about 40 years old, is a former resident of Agat who left Guam several years ago to join the military in the states. He served as a former military aide before working at the White House as a chef for President Trump.

KUAM has reached out to his attorney for comment. A photo of Nauta and Guam Gov. Lou Leon Guerrero is circulating on social media. Governor's communications director Krystal Paco-San Agustin told KUAM, "Like many Guamanians living off-island, he was excited to briefly identify himself to the governor as a fellow islander, introduce himself and ask for a photo. Their interaction was pleasant but brief."
