Trump Vows To Defy Protective Order: “I Will Talk”

NBC News reports:

Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday vowed that he “will talk” about the criminal charges he faces over his efforts to overturn the 2020 election and accused federal prosecutors of “taking away my First Amendment rights.”

Last week, special counsel Jack Smith asked U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan to impose a so-called protective order that would prevent Trump from disclosing evidence the government turns over to his lawyers as part of the discovery process.

He said failing to answer the media’s questions about the case is “not good for votes” as he seeks to defeat Biden. “I will talk about it, I will,” he said. “They’re not taking away my First Amendment rights.”
