Former President Donald Trump's lawyer slammed a request for a protective order against him by the Department of Justice.

In a heated appearance on CNN, John Lauro slammed the requested protective order put forward by Special Counsel Jack Smith, which would prevent Trump's team from sharing evidence that isn't sensitive to the public. He characterized it as an attack on the freedom of the press."The point is that we will not agree to keeping information that's not sensitive from the press ...

"I'm shocked that the press isn't lined up objecting to this protective order, because not only is President Trump being attacked for his First Amendment rights, now these prosecutors are trying to leverage on the freedom of the press," he added.
