DOJ would prefer to get Trump to plead out. It’s possible there is discovery that will make him decide going to trial will be more damaging for him than pleading out.

I doubt that.
The discovery memo also reveals that Walt Nauta testified to the grand jury on June 21 of last year.

This was days before DOJ subpoenaed surveillance footage on June 24. That puts the alleged conflict between Jay Bratt and Nauta’s attorney, Stan Woodward, in different light.
Nauta was not charged with perjury for that appearance, suggesting he already fixed his testimony before DOJ obtained the surveillance footage.
But not before his alleged lies in May helped Trump abscond to Bedminster with more classified documents.
