Citing threatening Trump post, US prosecutors seek protective order

14 Sept 05:34 Key points summarised by AI

US prosecutors, led by Special Counsel Jack Smith, have requested a protective order against Donald Trump in his 2020 election subversion case.
The motion cites a 'threatening' social media post by Trump and his history of public statements regarding individuals connected to his legal cases.
The proposed order aims to prevent Trump from publicly discussing or disseminating evidentiary details (discovery materials) to avoid intimidating witnesses and obstructing justice.
Judge Tanya Chutkan has ordered Trump's legal team to respond to the motion, while Trump's campaign defends his post as 'political speech' and he continues to criticize the Justice Department.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
