Trump election interference case: Protective order sought after witness video leak

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is seeking a protective order after portions of videos from key witnesses in her election interference case against former President Donald Trump and others were leaked to news outlets. The leaked footage includes statements from lawyers Jenna Ellis, Sidney Powell, Kenneth Chesebro, and bail bondsman Scott Hall, who have all pleaded guilty to related charges. The videos shed new light on their discussions with Trump regarding election challenges and the belief that he had won. The DA's office believes the leaks were intended to intimidate witnesses and obstruct justice. The office is now prohibiting defendants from having copies of the confidential videos and is seeking legal ramifications for the leaker.
