Trump lawyers, prosecutors square off over hush money evidence

Lawyers for Donald Trump will square off with prosecutors in a New York courtroom on Thursday over whether the former president should be restricted from discussing evidence in the criminal case against him over a hush money payment to a porn star.

Prosecutors are seeking a court order that would stop Trump from publicly disclosing evidence they turn over to him to prepare his defense. Given Trump’s history of attacks via social media, they said it is needed to reduce the risk of harassment against witnesses and others in the case.
