Trump lawyers say restrictions on case evidence are too broad

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 14:09:14 GMT

By Alanna Durkin Richer | Associated PressDonald Trump’s legal team on Monday urged the judge overseeing the election conspiracy case against the former president to reject prosecutors’ proposed protective order concerning evidence in the case, saying it is overly broad and restrictive of his First Amendment rights.Lawyers for the early 2024 Republican presidential primary front-runner said the judge should impose a more limited protective order that would prevent the public disclosure of only materials deemed “sensitive” — such as grand jury documents — rather than all evidence handed over by the government in the case accusing Trump of conspiring to overturn his 2020 election loss.Trump’s lawyers, who have characterized the case as an attack on his right to free speech, told the judge that the need to protect sensitive information about the case “does not require a blanket gag order over all documents produced by the government.”“In ...

That is not so simple.“From my perspective, he’s probably the most dangerous hitter in baseball,” Giants manager Gabe Kapler said, also putting San Diego’s Juan Soto in the conversation. “We were looking at his numbers against lefties and righties, and they’re scary good.”Increasingly, that has led teams to raise the question: Why even give him a chance?Last week, Ohtani played a stretch of six games in which he was intentionally walked six times. That kind of treatment is reserved for th...
