Manhattan DA cites Donald Trump's 'longstanding and perhaps singular history of attacking witnesses' in protective order request. (via Deadline: Legal Blog)
the court for a protective order to restrict Trump’s access to and use of discovery in its criminal case regarding hush moneyDistrict Attorney Alvin Bragg’s prosecutors want to control when and how Trump can view the information and what he can do with it. For one thing, they don’t want him sharing it on social media, and they want to shield the identities of DA office support staff.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg speaks during a press conference following the arraignment of Donald Trump on April 4 in New York.Justifying its request, Bragg’s office cited Trump’s “longstanding and perhaps singular history of attacking witnesses, investigators, prosecutors, trial jurors, grand jurors, judges, and others involved in legal proceedings against him, putting those individuals and their families at considerable safety risk.
It takes stock of the several probes Trump has faced over the years, going back to the Mueller special counsel investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. The prosecution filing noted in particular one of the current Justice Department special counsel probes Trump faces, into his handling of classified materials at Mar-a-Lago.
And if Bragg’s office has its way, Trump's dangerous lack of discipline could potentially get him into further criminal trouble that has nothing to do with the allegations that he falsified business records to cover up hush money payment reimbursements. That’s because the prosecution wants the judge not only to grant the protective order but to advise Trump of it on the record.
That is, Trump lashing out against various actors across his legal entanglements over the years could lead to a court order in this case whose violation could earn him additional criminal charges having nothing to do with what brought him into court in the first place.
