Fulton County DA asks for protective order after leak of witness videos in Trump election interference case claims witness intimidation
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis' office is seeking an emergency protective order after portions of videos from key witnesses in her election interference case against former President Donald Trump and others were leaked to two news outlets.
"The release of these confidential video recordings is clearly intended to intimidate witnesses in this case, subjecting them to harassment and threats prior to trial," the DA's office said in a court filing Tuesday after portions of the videotaped statements of lawyers Jenna Ellis, Sidney Powell and Kenneth Chesebro and bail bondsman Scott Hall were made public.
Judge Scott McAfee scheduled a hearing on the emergency motion for Wednesday.
