Georgia prosecutors seek protective order after leak of videos in Trump case

Request follows publication of confidential video recordings' of statements by Jenna Ellis, Sidney Powell and Ken Chesebro

Fulton county prosecutors have asked the judge overseeing the 2020 election subversion case against Donald Trump and his co-defendants in Georgia to immediately impose an emergency" protective order over the discovery materials to prevent potential future leaks of evidence.

The request came after several media outlets published details of videotaped statements that former Trump lawyers Jenna Ellis, Sidney Powell and Kenneth Chesebro gave as part of plea deals to avoid being tried as racketeering co-defendants with the former president.
