Justice Department requests protective order in Trump election interference case to limit his public comments

The Justice Department has asked a federal judge overseeing the criminal case against Trump to step in after he released a post online that appeared to promise revenge on anyone who goes after him.

Prosecutors requested that US District Court Judge Chutkan issue a protective order concerning evidence in the case, The order, would limit what information Trump and his legal team could share publicly about the case brought by special counsel Jack Smith.

Chutkan gave Trump's legal team until Monday to respond to the government's request.

Protective orders are common in criminal cases, but prosecutors said it's "particularly important in this case" because Trump has posted on social media about "legal matters pending against him."

Prosecutors pointed specifically to a post on Trump's Truth Social platform from earlier Friday in which Trump wrote, in all capital letters, "If you go after me, I'm coming after you !"

Prosecutors said they are ready to hand over a "substantial" amount of evidence "much of which includes sensitive and confidential information" to Trump's legal team.

They told the judge that if Trump were to begin posting about grand jury transcripts, it could have a "harmful chilling effect on witnesses or adversely affect the fair administration of justice in this case."

Prosecutors' proposed protective order seeks to prevent Trump from disclosing materials to anyone other than his legal team or others approved by the court. It would put stricter limits on "sensitive materials," which would include grand jury witness testimony.

Chutkan, has been one of the toughest punishers of rioters who stormed the Capitol in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack, fueled by Trump's baseless claims.

Prosecutors are seeking a protective order in that case with more rules about the defense team's handling of classified evidence.

Pence says he’ll comply with the law if called to testify in Trump's 2020 trial

When asked if he would testify if the case against Trump went to trial, Pence said he would.

“We’ll respond to the call of the law if it comes and we’ll only tell the truth. Trump was wrong then, and he’s wrong now. There are profound issues around this, pertaining to the First Amendment, freedom of speech and the rest”

“The American people deserve to know that Trump asked me to put him over my oath to the Constitution, but I kept my oath and I always will. And I think anyone who puts themselves over the Constitution, like Trump did, should never be president of the United States. That's the reason why, I’m running for president. Our Constitution is more important than any one man. Our country is more important than any one man’s career” he said.

"Whatever the outcome of this indictment. I accomplished my duty"

More than half of the nation believes Trump tried to stay in office beyond his term through illegal and unconstitutional means. 

To most Americans, that means undermining democracy.

A vast majority of Americans describe the multiple indictments Trump is facing as "upholding the rule of law" and "defending democracy."

Chris Christie is running for president, and preparing to take the debate stage

"Trump, never gotten his ass kicked by somebody from Jersey before, we know how to do that. Get ready, baby ! I am a fighter."

Christie describes Trump as a "Complete and total coward, a yellow streak. I've never seen Donald Trump elevate anything except for the ego factor."

He described his last conversation with him: " I Told him he should concede the election to Joe and go to his inauguration."

"Trump failed the country in 2020 when he said, "he had been stolen" but really had no evidence to prove that, He's also the one who kept documents against the law, then lied to the government. None of his Secretaries of State would work for him again. None of his Attorneys General would work for him again. Republicans voters should care about all of this. The case has to be made"

Christie said "Trump wants to be a dictator in America. He doesn't care about democracy. According to his own words, he said, "It's okay to suspend the laws and suspend the Constitution.""

Christie is running as a traditional Republican, including on foreign policy. "In every good race I've ever run, I've been an underdog on a mission."

"I oppose Trump for his incompetence, I oppose him for his broken promises, before we ever get to any of the criminal indictments. He's a completely self-centered, self-consumed, angry man. He doesn't care about anybody else other than him. He's not our retribution, He is his own."

"Some in the field don't call him out, because they might have aspirations, maybe a Trump cabinet post. But if you wanna be a man, you gotta fight."

Christie smiles there are "No chances" that I would ever go back into Trump's inner circle

Trump attacked Washington, the nation’s capital as a “filthy and crime-ridden embarrassment” as he seeks to move his trial on conspiracy and obstruction charges to New York.

“NO WAY I CAN GET A TRIAL IN WASHINGTON, DC” Trump wrote. He called for a US takeover of the city, which has limited home-rule powers under congressional supervision.

Trump said the judge on the case was “on very powerful grounds” He said Judge Chutkan, was appointed by Obama, without citing any evidence at all.

Trump Flips Out In Hellishly Bizarre New Social Media Meltdown: 'I Wasn't Scared' 

Donald Trump seems to have hell on his mind.

The former president invoked the perpetual flames of the underworld in two separate rants against Pelosi (Calif) and the US national soccer team.

He launched his attack on the speaker, who said Trump looked like a “scared puppy” during his arraignment on federal charges of election obstruction and conspiracy.

“I wasn’t scared” Trump insisted. “Nevertheless, how mean a thing to say ! She is a Wicked Witch whose husbands journey from hell starts and finishes with her. She is a sick & demented psycho who will someday live in HELL !”

Trump wasn’t done raising hell just yet. When the US were eliminated from the World Cup, Trump, like many others, was weirdly thrilled.

He called the loss “fully emblematic of what is happening to the once great Nation under Joe” and accused the american players of being “openly hostile” to the country.

He then took a shot at The Superstar Player. “Nice shot, the USA is going to Hell !!!”

"Of course he lost" : DeSantis rejects Trump

Florida Governor DeSantis made his most forceful comments and rejected Trump's claim that he could have win in 2020.

"Of course he lost" DeSantis said, adding "Joe Biden’s the president. Whoever puts their hand on the Bible every four years is the winner" DeSantis told

DeSantis strongly dismissed Trump's theories that he was stolen, saying they "did not prove to be true."

"I think the medias and people elsewhere, want to act like somehow this was the perfect election. I don’t think it was a good-run election."

"Here’s the issue that I think is important for Republican voters to think about : Why did we have all those mail votes ? Because Trump turned the government over to Fauci" referring to Fauci, leader of the Coronavirus Task Force. "They embraced lockdowns. They did the CARES Act, which funded mail-in ballots across the country."

"I also think Republicans didn’t fight back. You’ve got to fight back when that is happening."
