Mar-a-Lago property manager Carlos de Oliveira has appeared in court in Miami as part of the US probe into alleged mishandling of classified documents.
Charges against Mr de Oliveira were filed last week as federal prosecutors widened their inquiry into Mar-a-Lago owner Donald Trump and aide Walt Nauta.
Officials allege Mr de Oliveira tried to delete CCTV footage of Mr Trump’s golf club after the FBI’s search.
In court, the judge delayed his arraignment hearing until 10 August.
The arraignment hearing, where he will enter a plea, was pushed back to allow him to hire a lawyer in Florida. Mr de Oliveira’s Washington DC-based lawyer described the new charges as “unfortunate”.
