Prosecutors Seek Juror Protections Amid Trump Election Subversion Probe

Federal prosecutors in the election subversion case against Donald Trump have stated that 25 witnesses, including co-conspirators, former campaign employees, outside attorneys, and even a family member of Trump, have withheld information and evidence by asserting attorney-client privilege. The prosecutors are concerned that Trump may intimidate witnesses during the trial and have requested special protections for information about prospective jurors. They also want Trump to formally state whether he will argue that he was following the advice of his attorneys, which could open up his communications with his lawyers to scrutiny. Trump and his attorneys have indicated that they plan to use this defense in the case.
