Judge Chutkan Issues Warning to Trump's Attorneys on Juror Information Sharing

Judge Tanya Chutkan overseeing the federal election subversion case against Donald Trump has set pre-trial deadlines and procedures for jury selection, including the handling of jury questionnaires. While prosecutors and defense attorneys can conduct open-source research on potential jurors, they are prohibited from directly contacting anyone or sharing juror information with third parties, including Trump's campaign. Trump's attorneys have asked for a pause in the case, arguing presidential immunity, while prosecutors have raised concerns about Trump potentially tainting the jury pool through his social media posts. Chutkan has issued a narrow gag order limiting what Trump can say about potential witnesses.
