Donald Trump's lawyers are reportedly concerned about the evidence extracted from his phone by experts, including images, geolocation data, internet history, and social media posts, which allegedly show his encouragement of the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol. Prosecutors have announced their intention to call three phone data experts to testify about Trump's movements during the riots. Trump has pleaded not guilty to charges related to the events of January 6 and is facing multiple criminal cases while campaigning for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.
A former federal prosecutor has called for Judge Tanya Chutkan to take a tougher approach with Donald Trump in his election-fraud trial, suggesting that she either jail him or hold him in contempt if he continues to violate his gag order. The Washington, D.C. court of appeals recently reinstated Chutkan's gag order on Trump, allowing him to criticize the chief prosecutor but not his family or court staff. The former prosecutor argues that previous minor fines have been ineffective, and revoking Trump's bond for bad behavior would require him to go to jail until his trial begins in March. Trump is facing four criminal cases while campaigning for the Republican presidential nomination and has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
