In a Friday hearing, Judge Tanya S. Chutkan said she will not consider the 2024 campaign in making decisions during the trial connected to alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan said Friday that former President Trump’s right to free speech is “not absolute” ahead of the trial into efforts to overturn the 2020 election and stay in power.

Trump is charged with engaging in alleged conspiracies to overturn the results of the 2020 election and keep him in power. He has pleaded not guilty. “We are in uncharted waters, we have a defendant running for president and his opponent has the DOJ bringing charges against him,” Lauro said. But for the protective order, Chutkan rejected Smith’s request to restrict Trump and his legal team from disclosing any materials it receives as part of discovery to anyone other than his legal team, possible witnesses, the witnesses’ lawyers or others approved by the court. Instead, as Trump’s team requested, she narrowed the wording to prohibit Trump and his attorneys from disclosing materials deemed sensitive.
