"Judge Grants Request to Keep Government Witness Identities Secret in Trump Documents Case"

TL;DR Summary
The judge overseeing Donald Trump's classified documents case has granted federal prosecutors' request to keep the names of government witnesses sealed, addressing safety concerns while criticizing the special counsel for not raising their arguments earlier. The order allows redaction of potential witnesses' names and partial disclosure of witness statements, with public versions of Trump's motion to compel discovery and exhibits to be available by April 22. The case, one of four criminal indictments against Trump, focuses on allegations of mishandling classified documents and does not yet have a trial date.
