Special counsel Jack Smith on March 29 asked a federal judge to approve redactions to filings made by a co-defendant of former President Donald Trump.
The briefs submitted by Walt Nauta, the co-defendant, contain information that should not be made public, Mr. Smith told U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon.
That includes the names of people that government officials may call as witnesses in a trial, the special counsel, appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland, said.

So does this mean Trump and his attorneys can not know the accusers? So anyone (in their case) can make up stuff/misinformation and there is no way to cross examine or prove the misinformation?

Release the names to Trump’s lawyers. In confidence of course.

So much for Amendment 6:”...in all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right…to be confronted with the witnesses against him.”

How can Trump’s defense prepare if the witnesses are not known to them? I seem to recall something about having the right to face your accusers.

There are just tearing through the Bill of Rights. Hard to think of one that they don’t just laugh at now.

Actually after a little reflection, I believe Jack Smith is the reincarnation of Roland Freisler.

It has already been established that the Bill of Rights does not apply to Donald Trump.
Because democracy is at stake.

Jack doesn’t want anyone to see the docs in question, including the defense.
Jack doesn’t want defense to know who the witnesses will be.
Jack wants the trial to be pre-tracked toward a designed verdict.
Jack is not in DC or NY.

They’re thinking like Clintons. Witnesses have “accidents” if the mob knows who they are.

They’re testifying against a U.S. President, because Trump is actually the President
today. What are those witnesses, and Jack Smith afraid of? If they shield those witnesses’ names, this will be an even bigger fraud than it already is.

Indeed it’s the law one gets to know it’s accuser.
Democrats are using witch hut law so and so said.
