DOJ request protective order in Trump's election fraud case over social media posts 

Prosecutors cited in their request for a protective order a social media post Trump made on Truth Social earlier Friday

The Justice Department on Friday urged a federal judge overseeing former President Trump's election fraud case to issue a protective order against the former president after he made social media posts the department argues are threatening.

Prosecutors asked U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan to issue a protective order in the case a day after Trump pleaded not guilty to charges of attempting to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in his favor and block the peaceful transition of power. The protective order would limit the information Trump and his legal team would be allowed to share publicly about the case.

Protective orders like this are common in criminal cases, but prosecutors said it's "particularly important" in this case because Trump has posted on social media about "witnesses, judges, attorneys, and others associated with legal matters pending against him."

A social media post Trump made earlier Friday on his Truth Social platform was cited in the prosecutors' request. "IF YOU GO AFTER ME, I’M COMING AFTER YOU!" Trump wrote on the platform. Read more and see video here.

'Ticket to Freedom': Why Trump Wants a Prolonged Trial 

Matt Vespa / Townhall Tipsheet

Donald Trump faces almost 100 charges in three separate trials, with a fourth likely on the way in Georgia. We all know this is politically motivated and that the cases, especially the one filed by the Manhattan district attorney, are, to quote the late Antonin Scalia, pure applesauce. Trump can’t ignore it, however. He must show up for the arraignments and prepare his legal defense. 

This fiasco brings us to the 2024 election, where a potentially four-time indicted candidate could be an anchor on the entire GOP field. It’s not a good situation, though the latest development in the Biden bribery scandal has changed things. We knew Joe and Hunter were dealing in sleazy government access deals. However, we have the FBI’s FD-1023 report, the testimony of ex-Hunter associate Devon Archer, and the slew of suspicious activity reports from six banks, which provides massive movement on the story, which now has some coverage from the establishment press. It would have remained in the news if Trump wasn’t indicted a third time, a peculiar occurrence.
