Trump Faces Deadline in DOJ Protective Order Request as He Can’t Stop Posting About His Indictments

HeadlineAug 07, 2023

Donald Trump has been given a deadline of 5 p.m. today, Monday, to respond to special counsel Jack Smith’s request for a protective order. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, who is presiding over Trump’s case related to overturning the 2020 election, issued the deadline as the Justice Department attempts to curb Trump’s public comments, including potentially confidential evidence, that could intimidate witnesses. On Friday, Trump posted on his Truth Social site, “IF YOU GO AFTER ME, I’M COMING AFTER YOU!”. Separately, Trump pleaded not guilty Friday to additional charges in the federal case around his mishandling of classified documents.
