"Judge Allows Trump to Publicly Share Evidence in 2020 Election Case"

A federal judge has ruled that former President Donald Trump can publicly share some non-sensitive evidence in his trial on charges of plotting to overturn the 2020 election, despite objections from prosecutors who fear witness intimidation. The judge stated that the government had not provided sufficient reason for a "protective order" to prevent the sharing of evidence, but emphasized that Trump is still subject to release conditions that prohibit witness intimidation. The government can still petition the court to cover certain evidence under the order, and the judge rejected Trump's lawyers' argument that witness interview transcripts should not be publicly shared. Trump's attorneys argue that the protective order is too broad and infringes on his First Amendment rights.
