U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, who is overseeing former President Donald Trump's election conspiracy case in D.C., scheduled a Friday hearing to consider prosecutors' request for a protective order blocking him from publicizing evidence in the case.
Prosecutors asked Chutkan, an Obama appointee who has issued the harshest Jan. 6 sentences, to issue a protective order to block Trump and his team from disclosing the government's evidence turned over in discovery. Chutkan on Monday ordered both sides to set a date for a hearing to discuss the matter.
