“IF YOU GO AFTER ME, I’M COMING AFTER YOU!” the now-thrice-indicted former president wrote on Truth Social just hours before the filing.
The requested order would prevent Trump and his legal team from speaking publicly about sensitive information in the materials compiled by the special counsel’s office. A protective order is different from a so-called “gag order,” which would prevent him from discussing the case publicly at all. Smith’s office has not requested the latter, though D.C. federal court rules would allow Chutka to impose one.
In Friday’s filing, prosecutors claimed to have “a large amount of sensitive and confidential material” that it was prepared to send to Trump’s legal team. The material includes witness testimony, subpoena returns, and evidence obtained through search warrants. Protective orders are fairly standard in criminal cases, but Smith’s office wrote that one would be “particularly important” in Trump’s case, as he “has previously issued public statements on social media regarding witnesses, judges, attorneys, and others associated with legal matters pending against him.” The request noted that Trump had already issued multiple social media posts that “either specifically or by implication” referenced the D.C.
While prosecutors are hoping to start the trial before the end of the calendar year, Trump’s legal team hasthat the “massive amount of discovery and information” in the case makes a speedy trial date impossible. Trump’s legal team is also expected to file a motion to move the trial out of the nation’s capital. Chutkan has said she will set a trial date on August 28.
