A US judge on Monday barred Donald Trump’s lawyers and himself from releasing publicly or to others information from a dossier in which the former Republican president is accused of illegally keeping official documents after his term in the White House, Reuters and Agerpres reported.

In addition, the ruling by Judge Bruce Reinhart is in addition to last week’s ruling that imposes strict conditions on Trump himself regarding access to information in the file, which he and his lawyers need to build a defense against the 37 charges.

The former president charges that the trial is a new case of the instrumentalization of justice against him by the Democrats of the current president, Joe Biden, to prevent him from running next year against the latter.

“The materials in the file, together with any information derived from them, will not be released to the public or mass media, or shared on any news platform or social media without the prior notice and consent or approval of the United States Court,” the ruling said. judges

In addition, Trump “will not retain copies” and can study the case materials only “under the direct direction of an attorney or an associate of the attorney,” the same judge said.

In addition, “counsel shall store the materials in a secure location with labels that clearly indicate which materials are covered by this order,” the judge ordered, in addition to a preliminary order restricting the defendant and his attorneys from accessing the data in the file.

Nearly a year ago, investigators seized about 13,000 documents from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida. One hundred were classified, although one of Trump’s lawyers previously said that all classified documents had been returned to the government.
