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.

Kangaroo courts gotta kangaroo court.
But it’s okay for the turds in the DA office to leak crap.
Is this because he outed that crazy rape-baiter lady’s cat?
I don’t know any married woman who would name her cat ‘Vagina’. That sounds like something a young female college student might do while living in a dorm with other single girls. It just seems odd, and of course, vulgar.
He should sue the judge for civil rights violation and the perjurer for slander.
It is also very, very weird.
And what lectures will the judge give prosecutors about leakimg to the press alegations from them and witnesses before those allgeations are adjudicated in court (attempts to intimidate the defendant (Trump))?? Likely no such lectures will be given to the prosecutors.
As I said on a different thread last night...with her past and current bizarre behavior and comments, E.Jean Carroll has defamed herself far more than Donald Trump ever could.
The judge officiated at her lawyers wedding.
YIKES: E. Jean Carroll tweeted a bunch of creepy stuff including ‘sex tips she learned from her dog’

Only by a Manhattan jury could Donald Trump be found both not liable in a civil suit from a woman who accused him of rape and also liable for defamation for denying that he raped her. America’s hyper-politicized justice system is destroying our country.

his woman is a psycho. She can remember all the details except when it happened. This so Donald Trump can say was never at that store.
Amazing no one in a dept store saw or heard anything and she also has the story line of a tv show as her basis for a lawsuit.
Trump Accuser E. Jean Carroll Keeps Calling Rape ‘Sexy’, As Social Media Notices Her Story Matches a 2012 Law & Order Episode.
The notion is perhaps underscored by the fact that her story about Donald Trump raping her appears in a 2012 episode of Law and Order, featuring rape fantasists and the very same Bergdorf Goodman department store dressing rooms she claims the former President used in an attack on her.
Carroll – a Law and Order fan – first made her allegations against Trump in a 2019 book.
Among other things, Kaplan has ruled that Trump’s team cannot bring up the fact that Carroll’s litigation has been funded by Democrat billionaire Reid Hoffman.Despite having initially claimed the litigation was not receiving outside funding, she recently and apparently quite suddenly recalled that, in fact, it has had the financial backing of Reid Hoffman, a billionaire Democrat who previously “contributed more than $600,000 to the legal defense fund of… Fusion GPS, the company responsible for the creation of the Steele Dossier,” according to Trump’s legal team.
Carroll has alleged she has been subject to sexual assaults and rapes or attempted rapes by a long list of “hideous men” and others, including “a bloodthirsty, beautiful, relentless boy” aged seven or eight when she was also a child, a babysitter’s boyfriend, a camp counsellor, a dentist, an unnamed pocket knife-wielding youth she went on a date with in college, an unnamed former boss, CBS chief executive Les Moonves, and finally, Donald Trump.

Did Michael Avenatti ever face sanctions or fines when he claimed Trump was lying about Stormy Daniels? Don’t most high profile ppl accused of a crime say the other side is lying and they’re innocent? His attorneys should present a list of all the recent cases where the defendant accuses the other side of lying and showing how this is just another witch hunt to “get Trump.” The list would be bigger than a phone book, FFS!
The judge would be violating 18 USC 242 and should be charged and held without bail.
I would hope that protestors don’t demonstrate in front of the good CClinton island, casa.
Kangaroo courts gotta kangaroo court.

She is a arrogant maniacal egotist.
Those are all simple...yes or no...questions.
Do NOT initimidate witnesses with the truth when they are paid to lie??
There is a violation of 1st amendment rights there.
misusing evidence
Welcome to AmeriKa
Just as in the Alex Jones trial, the leftist Judge will deny Trump any means to defend himself or to speak about the pre planned process being used against him.
The verdict is already in and anyone with a lick of sense knows it.
The process will be engineered to humiliate and demean Trump. The prosecution will leak like a sieve and the media will run with it. Trump will be unable to even respond.
Judge = failed lawyer.
