Federal judge Tanya Chutkan rejected Donald Trump’s request to designate witness transcripts and videos as non-sensitive, and thereby exclude them from the protective order.
Said Chutkan: “Disclosure of any of those materials creates too great a risk that witnesses may be intimidated.”
She notes that Trump’s defense is “conflating what your client needs to do to defend himself and what your client wants to do politically. Your client’s defense is supposed to happen in this courtroom, not on the internet.”
She added: “He is a criminal defendant, he is going to have restrictions like every single other defendant.”
