DOJ Moving to Silence Trump – He Would Be Unable to Speak Out on Case Materials Under Potential New Order
The Department of Justice on Friday filed a motion to keep classified documents that will be used at former President Donald Trump’s upcoming trial out of his hands.
The motion seeks to block Trump from releasing the documents, according to The Hill.
Trump has been charged with 37 counts in connection to his alleged mishandling of classified information.
On Friday, the Justice Department requested an order covering documents that “include information pertaining to ongoing investigations.”
The Justice Department indicated those could be used in other cases against other people.
The order wants to only allow Trump to see 31 documents when he is supervised.
“Defendants shall only have access to Discovery Materials under the direct supervision of Defense Counsel or a member of Defense Counsel’s staff.
