Judge warns Donald Trump against threatening witnesses in 2020 election case David Jackson USA TODAY SKIP WASHINGTON - A federal judge on Friday warned Donald Trump not to make "inflammatory" threats against witnesses, part of a limited "protective order" that restricts the ex-president's public comments about the case that accuses him of trying to steal the 2020 presidential election. “I will take whatever measures are necessary to safeguard the integrity of the case,” said U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, citing concerns about harassment and intimidation of witnesses by Trump, who is running for president again in 2024.
