A federal judge on Friday granted former U.S. President Donald Trump leeway to publicly share some non-sensitive evidence that will be used in his trial on charges of plotting to overturn the 2020 election, but she warned him to tread carefully before making inflammatory public statements about the case.
“Even arguably ambiguous statements by the parties or their counsel- if they can be reasonably interpreted to intimidate witnesses or to prejudice potential jurors - can threaten the process," U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan said on Friday.
“I caution you and your client to take special care in your public statements about this case. I will take whatever measures are necessary to safeguard the integrity of these proceedings.”
Why does the law treat this guy like he’s special? He has 78 felony charges and he’s still walking around on the street spewing bullshit and inciting violence. I’m skeptical that he will be held accountable if he puts witnesses in danger with inflammatory public statements.
This judge has already encountered him once, and he didn’t enjoy the experience. If anyone is willing and capable of bringing him to heel, it’s Judge Chutkan. She doesn’t tolerate his shit and he knows it, which is why he’s requesting a change of venue.
