Jack Smith seeks court order to ensure Trump, defense don't share evidence turned over in discovery

In a new filing on Friday, Smith's team said that among the unclassified materials that prosecutors are set to turn over to the defense is "information pertaining to ongoing investigations, the disclosure of which could compromise those investigations and identify uncharged individuals."

Smith's team said in the filing that the "government is ready to provide unclassified discovery to the defense." The special counsel's proposed protective order would bar the defendants and their lawyers from disclosing the discovery materials "directly or indirectly to any person or entity other than persons employed to assist in the defense, persons who are interviewed as potential witnesses, counsel for potential witnesses, and other persons to whom the Court may authorize disclosure."
