TL;DR Summary

Justice Department prosecutors warn that unsealing names in the case against former President Donald Trump for retaining White House documents could expose witnesses to threats, intimidation, and harassment. Special counsel Jack Smith filed a motion in response to a judge's ruling that prosecutors must submit documents without redacting witnesses' names, arguing that revealing the names could pose significant risks. The case concerns Trump taking classified documents back to Mar-A-Lago and allegedly refusing to turn them over to the federal government, and he faces possible prison time if convicted. The next hearings in the case are scheduled for next week, and it's uncertain when the trial will take place.
