"Leaked Evidence in Trump Georgia Election Case Sparks Controversy and Legal Action"

A judge in Georgia has announced that he will issue a protective order to prevent the public release of sensitive evidence exchanged between prosecutors and lawyers representing former President Donald Trump and his co-defendants in their election interference criminal cases. The order comes after confidential interviews given by four co-defendants, including attorneys Jenna Ellis, Sidney Powell, and Kenneth Chesebro, were leaked to the media. Prosecutors sought the order, which was agreed to by most defense teams, to ensure the case is tried in court rather than in the court of public opinion. The designated sensitive evidence will include proffer videos, confidential business records, personal identifying information, and other information deemed confidential by the District Attorney's office.
