After you. So, what the government has said is that, at this point, this becomes dangerous for them. They have got to give over evidence, and its for 16 pm 4 16 pm if donald trump uses his comments to the press what is go after you mean . Who is he coming after . Witnesses . People who are named . The government has says said, if the government were to im quoting now from the document that we are looking to just get we will have it in a few minutes. But this is what kyle cheney has posted. If the defendant were to begin issuing public posts using details or, for example, a grand jury transcripts obtained in discovery here, it could have a harmful Chilling Effect on witnesses, or adversely affect the Fair Administration of justice in this case. They have written a lot about precedent in these instances. So, basically what is happening is, the Trump Defense team has asked for all the information that they need to move forward with their defense. That is expected. The government has said,
