NEW YORK — A New York City judge imposed a protective order Monday in the Manhattan district attorney's criminal case against former President Donald Trump that is meant to ensure evidence shared by the DA's office doesn't wind up on the internet.
Trump pleaded not guilty last month to 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in connection to what prosecutors call an"illegal scheme" to influence the 2016 presidential election by directing his then-personal attorney Michael Cohen to pay $130,000 to adult film actress Stormy Daniels to prevent her from publicizing a long-denied affair with Trump.
"Any materials and information provided by the People to the Defense" during the trial"shall be used solely for the purposes of preparing a defense in this matter," the order, signed by Judge Juan Merchan, said. Prosecutors sought the protective order because of what they called Trump's"extensive history" of making inflammatory remarks about witnesses, prosecutors and others associated with legal matters pending against him, assistant district attorney Catherine McCaw said at a hearing last week.
