A federal judge announced a less restrictive protective order against Donald Trump on Friday, but also warned the former president against "inflammatory" statements regarding the case that accuses him of trying to steal the 2020 presidential election.

“I will take whatever measures are necessary to safeguard the integrity of the case,” said U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, citing concerns about harassment and intimidation of witnesses by Trump, who is running for president again in 2024.
