A federal judge overseeing the classified documents case against former President Donald Trump has granted a request by prosecutors to safeguard the identities of potential government witnesses. The judge, however, declined to completely block witness statements from being disclosed, citing the lack of a basis for such a broad restriction.
The 24-page order addresses a dispute between special counsel's team and Trump's lawyers regarding the public disclosure of information about witnesses and their statements before trial. The disagreement had caused delays in the case, which is one of four prosecutions facing Trump.
