Prosecutors Seek Protective Order After Leak of Trump Case Videos

Prosecutors in Fulton county, Georgia, have requested an emergency protective order to prevent future leaks of evidence in the 2020 election subversion case against Donald Trump and his co-defendants. The request comes after media outlets published details of videotaped statements given by former Trump lawyers Jenna Ellis, Sidney Powell, and Kenneth Chesebro as part of plea deals. The release of these videos is seen as an attempt to intimidate witnesses and constitutes indirect communication about the case. Trump has pleaded not guilty to charges of racketeering and conspiring to overturn the election results in Georgia. The motivation behind the leaks remains unclear.
