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.

    In practice, how often is someone more dangerous with multiple weapons than they would be with one?

    How many incidents have unfolded where the outcome changed because the perpetrators possessed multiple firearms?

    I don’t understand the point of stockpiling weapons. You can only shoot one, and you’ll probably be dead within seconds of opening fire.
