![]() Trump has a long-standing and perhaps singular history of attacking witnesses, investigators, prosecutors, trial jurors, grand jurors, judges, and others involved in legal proceedings against him, putting those individuals and their families at considerable safety risk,” prosecutors said in their motion. In their motion seeking the protective order and during a hearing on the issue last week, prosecutors pointed to Trump’s prior conduct - statements and posts on social media disparaging his legal adversaries, including Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, as well as Merchan himself - which has resulted in threats of violence from his supporters. ![]() Trump pleaded not guilty last month to an indictment charging him with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in connection with what prosecutors allege were hush money payments made to ex-porn star Stormy Daniels to cover up their affair. The order also restricts Trump from viewing portions of the forensic images of witnesses’ cellphones - that are not directly related to the allegations - unless his attorneys receive permission from the judge. The order also said the names or other identifying information of any district attorney's office personnel, other than prosecutors or law enforcement officers, cannot be disseminated until trial.Īnd Trump is only permitted to review sensitive materials turned over to his defense attorneys during the discovery process in the presence of his attorneys and is “not permitted to copy, photograph, transcribe or otherwise independently possess the Limited Dissemination Materials,” the order said. The order stated that anyone with access to the evidence provided by prosecutors to the defense “shall not copy, disseminate or disclose” it to any other parties, including posting it on social media.
