Stanley Woodward, a lawyer representing one of Donald Trump's co-defendants, Walt Nauta, has alleged that a key prosecutor tried to pressure him inappropriately.
that Woodward felt that he was being pressured to cooperate with Smith's office. Woodward alleged that at a meeting last fall at the Justice Department, Jay Bratt, the Justice Department’s chief of counterintelligence who was on the special counsel's team, raised the issue of Woodward's application for a judgeship on the D.C. superior court. Woodward said during the meeting, prosecutors were trying to convince him that Nauta had lied and should cooperate in the investigation.
The meeting between Woodward and Bratt occurred at the Department of Justice when prosecutors were seeking Nauta's cooperation. Nauta was under scrutiny at the time over his shifting accounts of moving boxes of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago. A source told NBC News in June that Woodward alleged that Bratt had with him a folder of information related to Woodward’s bid for a judgeship and told him, “I didn’t take you for a Trump guy."
