Justice Juan Merchan handed down the ruling Thursday during a Manhattan Supreme Court hearing after prosecutors sought a protective order to restrict Trump, 76, from publicly revealing any evidence handed over to his legal team as the case unfolds.
Given Trump’s history of attacks via social media, prosecutors had argued that Trump needed to be silenced to reduce the risk of harassment against witnesses involved in the case. “Obviously, Mr Trump is different. It would be foolish to say he is not… He is different,” Merchan said Thursday. The judge also asked Trump’s lawyers and prosecutors to see if they can agree on a trial date in February or March 2024, which would fall in the middle of election primary season.
