NEW YORK — The Manhattan district attorney's office has asked the judge overseeing the criminal case against former President Donald Trump to prevent him from publicizing evidence obtained during discovery.
In a new motion, prosecutors said Trump's defense attorneys"will not consent to a protective order" so they asked the judge to impose one.
"Defendant Donald J. Trump has a longstanding and perhaps singular history of attacking witnesses, investigators, prosecutors, trial jurors, grand jurors, judges, and others involved in legal proceedings against him, putting those individuals and their families at considerable safety risk," the motion said.
Prosecutors said Trump has shown a"pattern" of behavior that makes the protective order necessary, pointing to the special counsel investigation into allegations of mishandling of classified documents and to social media posts that have included personal attacks on those involved in the investigation.
