The Georgia prosecutor who is leading a case against former President Donald Trump and more than a dozen others asked a judge Tuesday to issue an “emergency renewed motion” for a protective order on certain discovery materials.

In court papers filed in Fulton County, District Attorney Fani Willis wrote that the judge should issue an order on an “emergency basis” to hand down “a protective order over all discovery materials produced by the State to any defendant in this matter in order to protect witnesses and to safeguard sensitive and confidential information.”
