Former President Donald Trump’s lawyers urged a federal court on Oct. 1 to prevent sensitive information from being made public in special counsel Jack Smith’s case alleging election interference.

Attorneys for the Republican presidential nominee asked U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, who is preceding over the case, to reject a recent request by Smith to make parts of a roughly 180-page legal brief public, citing concerns over the safety of witnesses.
