This is the best summary I could come up with:


Federal prosecutors are asking for a protective order restricting what Trump and his team can do with evidence shared with them through discovery in the 2020 election case.

Prosecutors point to Trump’s public statements that they say could have a “harmful chilling effect on witnesses or adversely affect the fair administration of justice in this case.”

Prosecutors pointed to Trump’s Truth Social post last week that read: “IF YOU GO AFTER ME, I’M COMING AFTER YOU!”

Trump’s legal team proposed less restrictive rules than those sought by prosecutors regarding evidence in the case, leaning heavily into claims that special counsel prosecutors are on a politically motivated campaign to restrict his First Amendment rights.

Security also has been increased at the Superior Court of Fulton County in Georgia, where a decision is expected soon on whether to charge Trump for efforts to overturn the election results in that state.

A road in front of the Fulton County courthouse has been closed, orange plastic barricades have been erected around the perimeter, and more law enforcement officers and K-9 units have been observed.
