What to know about prosecutors request for protective order
Why prosecutors want a protective order in the criminal case against Trump: A response to a critic of the 2020 presidential election and a push for a new venue
“I’ve always said that Donald Trump was morally responsible for what happened on Jan. 6, and now he’s been charged with criminal conduct in regard to that,” he said.
Christie was a supporter of Trump who criticized his attempts to cast doubt on the results of the 2020 election. “I believe in the American people, and I believe in the fact that jurors will listen fairly and impartially.”
The former New Jersey Gov., who was a federal prosecutor, said that he thinks Trump could get a fair trial in D.C.
” President Trump was wrong, and he is wrong now.” “I had no right to change the outcome of the election,” he said. “The American people deserve to know that President Trump asked me to put him over my oath to the Constitution, but I kept my oath and I always will.”
Trump remains the Republican front-runner, but other candidates, including his former Vice President Mike Pence, have criticized Trump for his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election won by Joe Biden.
Trump also said his defense team would request a change of venue and ask that the case be moved outside of Washington, D.C. Lauro previously said they would seek a trial in West Virginia.
Response to the Theoretical Challenge to the Protective Order in the Correspondence between the State and the Prosecuting Attorney General
After obtaining her law degree from the University of Pennsylvania Law School, District Judge Chutkan went on to work for the District of Columbia Public Defenders Service and in private practice. She was appointed to the District Court in the United States.
They said that a protection order was crucial in the case because Mr. Trump frequently attacks those involved in criminal cases against him. On Sunday, he went on the war path on social media, attacking the special counsel as “deranged” and calling for Judge Chutkan to be recused from the case.
“This is an attack on you and members of the press,” Lauro told ABC This Week anchor George Stephanopoulos. “The Biden administration is trying to prevent the press from learning about evidence that the people have a right to know about,” she said.
Publicly, though, Lauro made pointed criticisms of the proposed protective order during his appearances on various political TV talk shows Sunday morning.
The defense and prosecutors both emphasized how they are at odds over a protective order in the correspondence that Trump’s team included.
The attorneys want a few more days to confer and possibly resolve the dispute without court intervention.
On Saturday, Chutkan denied a request from Trump’s attorneys for more time to respond to the request for a protective order, leaving them until 5 p.m. Monday to reply to the Justice Department’s proposal and suggest any changes.
A Trump campaign official said on Saturday that the Truth Social post isn’t aimed at the election case against him, but is more a definition of political speech.
Motion to impose a “protective order” on the dissipation of information concerning a presidential prosecution attempt to overturn the 2020 presidential election
“If public posts using details, for example, grand jury transcripts, were to be issued in this case it could have harmful chilling effect on witnesses or affect the fair administration of justice in this case,” the motion reads.
That is particularly critical in this case, they argued, because Trump has “previously issued public statements on social media regarding witnesses, judges, attorneys, and others associated with legal matters pending against him.”
Sklansky added that a protective order in this case would not be intended to “silence Trump” or prevent him from talking about the case, but rather an effort to “protect the use of information that’s provided in discovery.”
It’s a case-by-case decision by the judge about whether to ban the dissemination of information or not.
The Justice Department charged Trump with four criminal counts related to allegations that he attempted to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, which he lost. Trump pleaded not guilty in a federal court last week.
Trump and his attorneys wouldn’t be allowed to use any sensitive and highly confidential information that prosecutors give them before trial.
That could include potential evidence, such as grand jury documents and witness statements, and it may contain personal identifying details and other confidential information.

The 25th anniversary of al-Qaeda attacks: Michelle Martin tells us how a funeral would take place: Up first briefing: Trump fights protective order; FDA approves postpartum pill
Michel Martin wrote this essay. She’s Morning Edition’s newest host. She’s previously hosted Weekend All Things Considered, the Consider This Saturday is Tell Me More.
Today marks the 25th anniversary of al-Qaeda’s bomb attacks on the American embassies in Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. It was the first time most of us outside the intelligence community had heard of the group, but it obviously would not be the last; 9/11 came three years later.
The East Africa Embassy bombings killed 224 people and injured more than 4500, but I reported on the attack from Nairobi when I was at ABC News, and that’s not what sticks with me.
A school for office workers used to be on the floor of the office building next to the embassy. The books were kept for family ventures and weddings, which were usually large.
Budgets for décor, food and attire were all over the floor, smeared with blood or ripped by shattered glass — a stand-in for shattered lives. I wondered if any of these weddings would actually take place. Which families would now have to take these savings and pay for a funeral instead?

DUN! Eric Deggans: “Gorge on an endless stream of televised potato chips” as a tribute to the Law & Order sound effect
DUN! Eric Deggans loves the Law & Order sound effect. It’s not really a show he’s into and it’s just short excerpts on the internet. He writes that it’s like “gorging on an endless stream of televised potato chips,” with a new scenario offered just as you’re bored with the last one. As long as the videos keep on playing, he doesn’t even need to know how the story ends.

Federal prosecutors have offered more restrictive rules over what can be publicly disclosed in the criminal case against Trump.
The attorneys for the president said that prosecutors at the Justice Department were trying to limit the First Amendment protections of the former president.
Most of the information collected by criminal investigators during an inquiry is discovery evidence. Interviews with witnesses, grand jury testimony or data from seized communications devices are some of the sources it can come from.
