A federal judge released a series of rules on Friday that former President Donald Trump must follow as he begins to review special counsel Jack Smith's evidence ahead of his criminal trial on allegations to subvert the 2020 election results.
U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan released a five-page protective order underscoring those rules Friday afternoon after Trump's attorneys sought to make amendments to the proposal brought by Smith's team.Prosecutors indicated on Friday that after the release of the protective order, they would begin sharing millions of pages of discovery.
The judge handed favor to the DOJ in a request to designate witness interviews and recordings as"sensitive." Chutkan also rejected a request from Trump's team to allow a broad array of people working with the defense team to view the discovery materials. She notably said any"unindicted coconspirators" could have access to these materials under the defense's broad definition.However, Trump himself is allowed to review the sensitive discovery materials, with conditions.
