Trump's Threatening Post Prompts Prosecutors to Seek Protective Order

The Justice Department has requested a protective order from a federal judge overseeing the criminal case against former President Donald Trump, following his online post that appeared to threaten revenge against those who go after him. Prosecutors argue that such an order is necessary due to Trump's history of posting about individuals associated with legal matters against him. The proposed order would restrict Trump and his legal team from publicly sharing information about the case. Prosecutors also expressed concerns about Trump potentially disclosing sensitive and confidential evidence, which could have a detrimental impact on witnesses and the fair administration of justice. Trump is facing charges related to his attempts to overturn the 2020 election results and obstruct Congress' certification of President Joe Biden's victory.
