Trump's Threatening Post Prompts Request for Protective Order in Election Case

Federal prosecutors have requested a protective order in former President Donald Trump's election case, asking the judge to prevent him from publicly disclosing sensitive evidence gathered during the investigation. The special counsel's office argues that such a restriction is necessary due to Trump's previous public statements on social media regarding witnesses and others involved in legal matters against him. Prosecutors also cite a recent threatening post by Trump as a reason to limit his use of discovery materials, as it could potentially harm witnesses and obstruct the fair administration of justice. Trump's attorneys are expected to respond to the proposed protective order.
