District Attorney Fani Willis, the Georgia prosecutor leading the 2020 election case against former President Donald Trump and his co-defendants, is asking a judge to issue an emergency motion for a protective order. The order is to prevent further discovery materials from being leaked, following reports that materials were leaked to several news organizations on Monday, Nov. 13.
The leaked material includes videos of on-camera statements from former Trump attorneys Jenna Ellis, Sidney Powell and Kenneth Chesebro, as well as Atlanta-based bail bondsman Scott Hall.
In Powell’s leaked testimony, she says that Trump really believed he had won the election, which could help Trump’s defense.
On Tuesday, Nov. 14, Willis said that the “release of these confidential video recordings is clearly intended to intimidate witnesses in this case” by subjecting them to “harassment and threats prior to trial.”
