A lawyer for Donald Trump aide Walt Nauta told a federal judge on Tuesday that he could not yet enter a plea in a case that accuses him of helping the former president hide national security documents because he still does not have local counsel.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Edwin Torres postponed Nauta's arraignment in the case for a second time, to July 6, and warned Nauta's attorney that he needed to quickly find a lawyer who is licensed to practice in Florida, where the case is being tried.

Nauta initially appeared in the Miami courtroom alongside Trump on June 13. Trump pleaded not guilty, and Nauta did not enter a plea at that time due to lack of local counsel. Prosecutors said Nauta moved boxes that contained classified documents so a lawyer for Trump could not find them and hand them over to federal investigators. They said that during a voluntary interview Nauta lied to federal agents about not knowing about the boxes being moved.

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump appointee who last year ruled for the former president in a civil lawsuit filed over the seizure of documents from his Mar-a-Lago resort, last week scheduled Trump's trial for Aug. 14.
