The request came in an April filing unsealed on Friday, part of a dispute over whether Twitter could tell Donald Trump about a search warrant for his records.
“The defendant’s repeated, inflammatory public statements regarding the District of Columbia, the Court, prosecutors, and potential witnesses are substantially likely to materially prejudice the jury pool, create fear among potential jurors, and result in threats or harassment to individuals he singles out,” prosecutors said.
The request was made under seal earlier this month; a redacted version was published late Friday. Trump opposes the request, according to the government. Prosecutors said they are not asking the court to keep Trump from quoting public court records or declaring his innocence. But the “limited” order they request would bar “statements regarding the identity, testimony, or credibility of prospective witnesses; and … statements about any party, witness, attorney, court personnel, or potential jurors that are disparaging and inflammatory, or intimidating.
