DOJ request protective order in Trump's election fraud case over social media posts
Prosecutors cited in their request for a protective order a social media post Trump made on Truth Social earlier Friday

By Landon Mion | Fox News

The Justice Department on Friday urged a federal judge overseeing former President Trump's election fraud case to issue a protective order against the former president after he made social media posts the department argues are threatening.

Prosecutors asked U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan to issue a protective order in the case a day after Trump pleaded not guilty to charges of attempting to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in his favor and block the peaceful transition of power. The protective order would limit the information Trump and his legal team would be allowed to share publicly about the case.

Protective orders like this are common in criminal cases, but prosecutors said it's "particularly important" in this case because Trump has posted on social media about "witnesses, judges, attorneys, and others associated with legal matters pending against him."

A social media post Trump made earlier Friday on his Truth Social platform was cited in the prosecutors' request.

"IF YOU GO AFTER ME, I’M COMING AFTER YOU!" Trump wrote on the platform.

Can't see that statement being taken any other way but a threat.

Well, Trump opens his mouth when he shouldn't yet again.  It does lean towards being a threat and if anyone now needs protection it's Trump.  Hope he's ramped up his security detail and if he should wind up behind bars....it's anyone's guess as to what will happen.
