Trump, the first-ever former president to face federal charges, has pleaded not guilty to 37 criminal counts stemming from the classified documents probe.
"Full transparency — at every step of this historic case — is essential," attorneys for the press coalition wrote in U.S. District Court in West Palm Beach, Florida.
Trump, the first-ever former president to face federal charges, pleaded not guilty this month to 37 counts including willful retention of national defense information and conspiracy to obstruct justice. His aide and co-defendant, Walt Nauta, pleaded not guilty to six charges at the same arraignment hearing.
The defendants' lawyers took no position on the government's decision to file the witness list under seal, but "the defense reserves the right to object to the special condition and the manner in which it was implemented," the court filing noted. "The filing of the list of potential witnesses in this case is a highly significant initial step in this extraordinary prosecution," they wrote. "It will mark the first time that the Court has instructed the Government to inform Trump of the identities of persons who may offer testimony that prosecutors believe will incriminate him."
