Prosecutors say the former president’s message on Truth Social raises specter he might use evidence to target witnesses.

In a court filing just before 10 p.m. Friday, Senior Assistant Special Counsels Molly Gaston and Thomas Windom alerted the judge in Trump’s latest criminal case — U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan — to a combative post Trump sent earlier in the day.

“If you go after me, I’m coming after you!” Trump wrote in all caps Friday afternoon on Truth Social, which is run by a media company he co-owns.

The prosecutors said Trump’s post raised concerns that he might improperly share evidence in the case on his social media account and they urged that he be ordered to keep any evidence prosecutors turn over to his defense team from public view.

    Or when you see idiots post things like this. If you want to complain that’s fine but at least look at the facts what you’re comparing. Apparently Trump supporters are incapable of that. Yes Hilary questioned the election results and even Democrats objected to the electoral count of the certification of some of the rust belt states Trump won. But they didn’t try to get Joe Biden to send the results back to Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. Obama wasn’t calling up state officials to overturn the results. Democrats didn’t get an angry mob to storm the capitol.

      Also, while I don’t doubt that there were more than enough people voting for Trump anyway, considering the fact that he has attempted to fiddle with the results before, what is the guarantee that he hasn’t before that?

      I’m not saying Hillary was right (it doesn’t matter in hindsight anyway), but at least now I understand her doubts a bit more.

        With all the projections of him losing, Hillary winning popular vote by 3 million, I’ve thought since then something shady happened. Then in 2020 with all the bullshit he spewed, where did he get that idea from? Everything these clowns do is projection. The only fraud found was fraud they committed. How much more did they do that didn’t get looked into?

        At this point, whenever someone from the GOP accuses anyone from the left of something, I say both get immediately investigated. We all know what the results would be and right would plug their ears and walk away yelling Hillary’s emails and Hunter’s laptop.
