A federal judge had ordered Trump's legal team to respond to a request for a blanket protective order over all documents involved in the case.
After a federal judge had ordered former President Donald Trump's legal team to respond to a U.S. Department of Justice's request for a protective order by Monday, Trump's team is now asking that the blanket protective order to shield all materials now only be applied to"genuinely sensitive materials."
Trump's team wrote that it"respectfully requests" that the court narrow the proposed order to"shield only genuinely sensitive materials from public view."Federal Judge Tanya Chutkan had asked Trump's team to respond to special counsel Jack Smith's request to implement a strict protective order that would bar Trump from discussing evidence in the case in public.
Trump's legal team called it a"thinly veiled reference to [Biden's] administration's prosecution of President Trump just hours before arraignment." The response accuses Trump and his team of attempting to propose"an order designed to allow him to try this case in the media rather than in the courtroom."
