Judge orders Trump not to release evidence in documents case

A federal judge has blocked former President Donald Trump from disclosing evidence and sensitive information discussed in his classified documents case.

US Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart, who signed off last August on the search warrant for the 77-year-old’s Mar-a-Lago resort, sided with the Justice Department on Monday after special counsel Jack Smith’s prosecutors filed a motion to keep the evidence in the case secured during the discovery process.

The judge said Trump and co-defendant Walt Nauta cannot “disclose the Discovery Materials or their contents directly or indirectly to any person or entity other than persons employed to assist in the defense, persons who are interviewed as potential witnesses, counsel for potential witnesses, and other persons to whom the Court may authorize disclosure.

“Defendants shall only have access to Discovery Materials under the direct supervision of Defense Counsel or a member of Defense Counsel’s staff. Defendants shall not retain copies of Discovery Material,” Reinhart added.

Veteran. And, yes, I support DeSantis. Even if I didn’t, as I have always done on FR, I defend veterans. It is beyond disgusting to denigrate veterans who have honorably served, regardless of their role in the service. They served.

Anyone want to bet that the information “not to be released” is about Joe Biden, Hillary & Bill Clinton, and B Obama and illegal things that they have done with foreign powers?

They all should be held to same standard and prosecuted.

But they won't be. We all know this. We all have absolutely no doubt as to who the law applies to and who it doesn't. The very fact that we have a 2 tiered justice system in America tells me the Constitution is nothing more than an old piece of paper. The time is over for playing by the rules. Especially playing by THEIR rules.

I too back veterans. I’m married to one. I just wish RDS would have respected the voters of Florida and fulfilled his commitment.

His lawyers absolutely need to know. You do realize this is talking about what Trump can and can’t discuss with his lawyers, right? Oh wait, you didn’t know that.

IOW, President Trump is being denied a defense by a corrupt and/or incompetent partisan wretch of a judge.
