Trump team ordered to respond to Special Counsel Jack Smith's protective order filing https://ift.tt/ltoPNZg

Donald Trump's legal team is being ordered to respond to a protective order from Special Counsel Jack Smith regarding a social media post from the former president. 

The filing came after Trump posted on Truth Social on Friday stating, in capital letters, "If you go after me, I’m coming after you!"

Prosecutors say that a "substantial" amount of evidence is about to be handed over to Trump's legal team, "much of which includes sensitive and confidential information."

The protective order would limit what Trump as well as his legal team can publicly share about the case.

U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan gave Trump's lawyers until Monday at 5:00 p.m. to respond to the proposed protective order.

Trump faces charges of conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights.

The former president has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

He was already charged in a previous federal indictment and has pleaded not guilty to 37 counts relating to his alleged improper retention of classified records.

A spokesperson for Trump told Fox News Digital in an earlier statement that "this is nothing more than the latest corrupt chapter in the continued pathetic attempt by the Biden Crime Family and their weaponized Department of Justice to interfere with the 2024 Presidential Election, in which President Trump is the undisputed front-runner, and leading by substantial margins."

The Associated Press and Fox News' Brooke Singman contributed to this report.
