"Authorities Investigate Threats Against Witnesses in Trump Classified Documents Cases"

Prosecutors in the criminal case against former President Donald J. Trump have requested a federal judge to protect the identities of several witnesses, citing the potential for threats, harassment, and intimidation. This move comes after Trump's legal team sought permission to name some witnesses in court papers, a request that was initially granted by Judge Aileen M. Cannon. The prosecutors' request reflects growing frustration with the judge, and comes just before a scheduled meeting to discuss a request by Trump's lawyers to access a secret government filing related to classified discovery evidence in the case.
