WASHINGTON: Donald Trump's lawyers urged a federal judge on Monday (Aug 7) to reject a protective order sought by prosecutors ahead of the former US president's 2020 election trial, saying it would violate his free speech rights under the Constitution. Prosecutors, in asking for the protective order, argue
to federal charges that he conspired to try to overturn his 2020 election loss to Democratic President Joe Biden. It was the third criminal case brought against Trump so far this year.
Prosecutors on Friday, in their request for a protective order from Chutkan, pointed to a post from Trump on his Truth Social site that said,"IF YOU GO AFTER ME, I'M COMING AFTER YOU!" Under a process known as discovery, prosecutors must provide defendants with the evidence against them so they can prepare a defence. Prosecutors in their Friday filing said they are prepared to provide Trump with a"substantial amount" of evidence once a protective order is issued.
