On Tuesday, special counsel Jack Smith submitted a motion requesting that a judge safeguard the anonymity of potential jurors in the case involving Donald Trump's alleged election interference. Smith cited the former president's recent attacks on court personnel for this precaution, reported The Hill.
In court documents, prosecutors expressed further apprehension over the potential actions of Trump concerning obtaining research on prospective jurors. They cited his recent criticism of the clerk of the New York judge presiding over Trump's civil business fraud trial, which prompted the judge to impose a restricted gag order.
He criticized the clerk's association with the judge, leading Judge Engoron to instruct Trump to remove the post and prohibit any further disparagement of court personnel by all parties. "The Court should make clear to the parties, however, that research beyond what is publicly available—especially if it results in any kind of contact with a potential juror—would infringe upon potential jurors' privacy interests," Smith's team wrote.
