Kind of a preview of how shell run her court and this case. And in deciding whether to grant Special Counsel jack smiths request for protective order limiting what the disgraced expresident can and cannot say publicly about the case, judge chutkan cuts through Talking Points like a hot knife through butter. On the First Amendment protections, they are so fond of citing, mr. Trump, like every american, has a First Amendment right to free speech. But that right is not absolute. Adding that without a protective order, the disclosure of discovery materials could lead to witnesses being harassed or otherwise interfering with a fair trial. What about the fact that trump is running for president. And chutkan did not mince words on that eithe saying, this is a criminal trial and i will not take into consideration the impact will have for have for a political came on either side. He will have all of the rights hesen tieptled to. The existence is not going to have any bearing on my decision. I i

Donald trumps legal team can show him the sensitive materials in the case, but trump cannot take notes on any information that would identify witnesses and, according to the Protective Order, quote, during any time that the defendant reviews sensitive materials outside of Defense Councils presents, the defendant must not have access to any device capable of photocopying, recording, or otherwise replicating the sensitive materials, including a smart cellular device. This Protective Order was a partial win for jack smiths team, who originally sought to prevent the public release of all evidence given to donald trump. Lets not forget these rules for sensitive materials are being enforced on the twice impeached former president who was comfortable with leaving classified documents in a bathroom at his florida residence. Donald trumps legal team has stuck to a very obvious strategy in this case. We naked about First Amendment rights, delay, and then make it some more and then try the case i
Even as she gave a nugget to the Trump Defense team of not defining everything as sensitive materials, she took it away by making clear that anything that the government was concerned about in terms of both impairing the jury pool and also going after witnesses, would violate the order anyways.
