In light of the former president’s “longstanding history” of harassing witnesses involved in his legal cases, a US judge recently issued a protective order following a meeting between Trump’s lawyers and prosecutors during which routine evidence was shared.
Former US President Donald Trump was ordered on Thursday to appear for a legal lesson later this month to ensure he understands the full risks of misusing evidence against witnesses.
The order – tied to his April 4 indictment – was issued by Judge Juan Manuel Merchan, who will specifically inform Trump he will be held in contempt if he violates regulations that restrain him from intimidating witnesses. Trump will be appearing virtually before the court on May 23.
The protective order Merchan laid down on Trump comes at the request of New York prosecutors, who argue the former president has a history of making “harassing, embarrassing, and threatening statements” about people he is legally entangled with.
“[Trump] has a longstanding and perhaps singular history of attacking witnesses, investigators, prosecutors, trial jurors, grand jurors, judges, and others involved in legal proceedings against him,” Assistant District Attorney Catherine McCaw wrote, adding that such behavior can put “individuals and their families at a considerable safety risk.”
Prosecutors are hoping to prohibit Trump from his usual Trumpisms, by restricting him from posting evidence to social media or third parties not involved in the legal proceedings.
Merchan agreed to have Trump appear via video as a means to avoid having to implement presidential-level security measures for the former commander-in-chief. While Trump will be joining virtually, his lawyers, prosecutors and the presiding judge will be present in the courtroom.
During Trump’s April indictment, serious security concerns had been raised and prompted the closure of multiple Manhattan roadways.

It would be a cold day in hell before I allow a “judge” named Juan to lecture me about anything American. Trump needs to school him on ILLEGAL “IMMIGRATION”.
Vagina is not amused.
Most judges and lawyers seem oblivious to the fact that most of the public holds them in contempt.
The guy is not even a real USA American. His parents were illegal aliens. He was born in Bogota, Colombia.
In a sane world he would have been deported or thrown in prison a long time ago. /spit
Carroll has alleged she has been subject to sexual assaults and rapes or attempted rapes by a long list of “hideous men” >>> She and the judge agree that rape includes just looking at her.
“I don’t know any married woman who would name her cat ‘Vagina’.”
There was a character in an Australian movie who was asked what his dog’s name is.
“Herpes,” he said. “If she’s good she’ll heel.”
Idiots like Juan are the greatest threat to America. Freeloading refugees trying to tell Americans how to live. This idiot needs to be deported.
I don’t know any married woman who would name her cat ‘Vagina’.
= = =
Well, the name ‘Pussy’ was already taken.
I’ve heard of one like that.
I think her last name was Galore.
Lol! How droll.
This is what PAC’s are for. Go after liars.
Restricting him from posting evidence
They mean like the media has to!.
