| 0:00.0 | Thanks to you at home for joining us this hour. Former President Donald Trump got some marching orders today. |
| 0:09.0 | The judge overseeing Special Counsel Jacksmith's case into Trump's attempt to overturn the 2020 |
| 0:14.5 | election, Judge Tanya Chutkin. Today she laid out some new rules for the former |
| 0:19.6 | president as far as the next phase of his criminal indictment. |
| 0:23.0 | When Mr. Trump wants to go over sensitive evidence, |
| 0:26.0 | like witness emails or audio recordings of witness testimony, |
| 0:30.0 | he is not allowed to bring anything into the room with him that could be used to copy that sensitive |

| 1:26.0 | Now the reason this all had to be ironed out today is because Special Counsel Smith's team is going to start handing Trump's team evidence to review before they all go to trial. |
| 1:37.0 | And those rules are part of a much larger protective order that Judge Chuck can issue today, |
| 1:41.7 | outlining what evidence Trump cannot share |
| 1:43.7 | from this case outside of court. |
| 1:46.4 | And we learned as part of all of this |
