Fox Guest Downplays Real Threat Trump Poses To Trial Witnesses

Fox regular Andrew McCarthy whined about how terribly unfair it is that Trump's defense team isn't being allowed to know who the witnesses are until a day ahead of time in his election interference trial in Manhattan so that Trump can harass them ahead of the fact on his Truth Social network.

Here's more on that from the Independent:

Prosecutors in Donald Trump’s historic hush money trial have refused to hand over a list of witnesses in the case in a bid to save them from Truth Social attacks by the former president. [...]

On Thursday 18 April – before the first witness, David Pecker, took the stand on Monday – Mr Trump’s attorney Susan Necheles asked for the name of at least one witness that prosecutors intended on introducing the following week.

Prosecutor Joshua Steinglass explained that his office would normally hand over such information to the defence, but that they were reluctant to do so in this high-profile case because of Mr Trump’s penchant for lashing out online at witnesses and others involved in the case.

“Mr Trump has been tweeting about the witnesses,” he said. “We’re not telling him who the witnesses are.”

After the defence voiced some disappointment, Judge Merchan responded: “I can’t fault them for that.”
