WASHINGTON - A US judge in Florida on Monday ordered defence lawyers for former president Donald Trump not to release evidence in the classified documents’ case to the media or the public, according to a court filing.
“The Discovery materials, along with any information derived therefrom, shall not be disclosed to the public or the news media, or disseminated on any news or social media platform, without prior notice to and consent of the United States or approval of the Court,” the order filed on Monday said. The order granted a motion filed last week by prosecutors, who had asked the court to put conditions on how the defence stores and uses the documents.
“Before I send boxes over, I have to take all of my things out. These boxes were interspersed with all sorts of things,” Trump said. “I was very busy, as you’ve sort of seen.”The Justice Department told a court that the boxes contained highly classified documents, including a plan to attack Iran.
