The Department of Justice (DOJ) has filed a motion to prevent former President Donald Trump from publicly disclosing any of the evidence that his legal team will be granted access to by prosecutors as they prepare to defend him in the federal classified documents case.

Special counsel Jack Smith’s team requested the protective order in a new filing on Friday, with the presiding judge referring the matter to U.S. Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart, who approved the search warrant for last year’s FBI raid on Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home.
