DOJ files motion to bar Trump from accessing classified documents without lawyer present
Trump was indicted on 37 federal counts over the Mar-a-Lago records case
 
The Department of Justice (DOJ) filed a protective order to prevent former President Donald Trump from releasing classified documents that will be shared with his lawyers amid his Mar-a-Lago records indictment, The Hill reported.

According to the motion, which was obtained by The Hill, the documents Trump has "include information pertaining to ongoing investigations."

The motion, which is pending review from Judge Bruce Reinhart, would prevent Trump from accessing the 31 classified documents except in the presence of his lawyers

"Defendants shall only have access to Discovery Materials under the direct supervision of Defense Counsel or a member of Defense Counsel’s staff," the motion said. "Defendants shall not retain copies of Discovery Material."

"Defendants may take notes regarding Discovery Materials, but such notes shall be stored securely by Defense Counsel," the motion added. Read more and see video here.
