NEW YORK—Former President Donald Trump should be forbidden from sharing evidence produced during his criminal case with the media or the public, prosecutors said in a filing this week.

Prosecutors with the office of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg on April 24 asked New York Justice Juan Merchan to enter a protective order that would limit what materials Trump can view and where he can view them. The order would also make clear that the discovery materials can not be disseminated to reporters or posted on social media platforms.
