Fulton county prosecutors have asked the judge overseeing the 2020 election subversion case against Donald Trump and his co-defendants in Georgia to immediately impose an “emergency” protective order over the discovery materials to prevent potential future leaks of evidence.
The request came after several media outlets published details of videotaped statements that former Trump lawyers Jenna Ellis, Sidney Powell and Kenneth Chesebro gave as part of plea deals to avoid being tried as racketeering co-defendants with the former president.
The Fulton county district attorney Fani Willis had previously asked for a protective order for the discovery materials in the case. But citing the leak of several of the “proffer” interviews, Willis renewed the request on Tuesday to Fulton county superior court judge Scott McAfee.

Definitely think these leaks are coming from the Trump team to try to get a mistrial.
Or at the very least, to poison the public against the court by selectively leaking only the least-incriminating excerpts so right-wing media can pretend that's all there is and the prosecution doesn't have a case.
Yeah also very plausible
This also seems like stochastic terrorism, which is something that Trump has done a lot of.
For Trump, because of his mentally ill base, all he has to do is tell them that someone isn't loyal, and that person will begin to get death threats.
Stochastic terrorism really needs to be treated more like regular terrorism.
They basically already admitted that much.
Someone gonna have to die before they make Trump sit in a cell. And if it's not someone important, I bet they still wont.
A few died on Jan 6 - yet the orange clown is still out.
They weren’t important enough, apparently.
US Judges after someone attempts to murder them because Trump told them to: "If you do that again there WILL be a fine!"
“…. there MIGHT be a small fine of it happens again”
Attempted murder of judge happens again, under Trumps specific orders.
“Okay, this is your very last warning”
"If you do that again I'll consider a fine"
Followed by his lawyers appealing to the Supreme Court, who then decide in a 6-3 vote that murder is a type of free speech when committed by a former president
