"Unsealed: Threats Against Witnesses in Trump's Mar-a-Lago Case"

Special counsel prosecutors have provided Donald Trump with a sealed exhibit detailing threats made against a potential trial witness, despite objections, in the case involving his retention of classified documents. The exhibit was ordered to be turned over to Trump's lawyers by the presiding judge, who reviewed its contents and deemed it unnecessary to remain sealed. The exhibit is part of a larger legal battle over the disclosure of witness identities and sensitive information, with prosecutors seeking reconsideration of previous rulings.

"Trump Judge Under Fire for Endangering Witnesses in Legal Ruling"

Special Counsel Jack Smith criticizes Florida Judge Aileen Cannon for causing "significant risks of threats" to witnesses in the classified documents case against former president Donald Trump, as she rejected calls to recuse herself and ordered prosecutors to submit unredacted documents containing sensitive information. The government prosecutors argue that making this information public poses a risk to potential witnesses, while Trump's legal team seeks indefinite postponement of trial deadlines. The case involves 91 charges across four indictments, and Trump aims to delay trials until after the 2024 election, potentially allowing him to appoint prosecutors who could drop the charges if he returns to the White House.
