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.

        When he said he could shoot a man in cold blood in the middle of times Square, he wasn’t kidding. He’s literally raped children for God’s sake.

          As often as he projects… i’m kind of wondering if he’s had people murdered… like the time he accused Joe Scarborough of murdering his intern… i remember thinking holy shit… start searching trump properties for buried bodies… i mean shit he buried his ex wife on a golf course.

            I mean he wouldnt do it himself. He’d hire a hitman. Which then he’d short the hitman on paying him. Its the trump way to never pay the ending fees on a contract. I dont think he himself has had a direct hand with murder. But I 100% believe he’s a child rapist. He talked fondly of jeffrey epstein, and went to his parties, and commented himself on the young girls at the parties.

          Look, I dislike him as well, but do you have any proof for that last statement? I have yet to see or hear of anything like that.

      No, worse its witness intimidation. Essentially tampering “you should x” intimidation “I’ll do x” one effects current witnesses while the other implies they’ll go after current and potential witnesses.

      I thought this was directed at the judge?

      Edit: Given the context it seems aimed at the witnesses.
