Former President Donald Trump learned on Wednesday who is going to testify against him in the federal case involving his handling of classified national defense information.

The revelation came after the Department of Justice said that it turned over “grand jury testimony of witnesses who will testify for the government at the trial of this case” as part of the discovery process.

No further information was released about who the witnesses are or what they said during their testimony.

A federal judge issued a protective order on Monday blocking Trump from being able to release any of the evidence that prosecutors turn over to his defense team during the discovery process.

“The Discovery Materials, along with any information derived therefrom, shall not be disclosed to the public or the news media, or disseminated on any news or social media platform, without prior notice to and consent of the United States or approval of the Court,” Federal Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart said in the order.

The order said that Trump and his team also cannot disclose any of the material, due to the sensitivity of its contents, in “any public filing or in open court without notice to, and agreement from, the United States, or prior approval from the Court.”

The order said that all the documents must stay in the custody of the defense counsel in a secure manner and that all the material must be returned to the U.S. government or completely destroyed within 90 days of the case being brought to a conclusion.

The defendants are not allowed to retain any copies of the material, but they are allowed to take notes on the material, though that material must be securely stored.

A former FBI intelligence official was sentenced to nearly four years in prison this week for keeping classified documents in her home, including her bathroom.

U.S. District Court Judge Stephen R. Bough sentenced Kendra Kingsbury to 46 months in prison on Wednesday after she pled guilty to two counts of unlawfully retaining documents related to the national defense.

Kingsbury, 50, was charged in May 2021 with two counts of violating 18 U.S.C. § 793(e), Willful Retention of National Defense Information.

Both of the counts Kingsbury was charged with carried the possibility of a 10 year prison sentence and a $250,000 fine.

The exact statute that Kingsbury was charged with violating is the exact same statute that former President Donald Trump was charged with violating earlier this month. Trump was hit with 31 counts of allegedly violating 18 U.S.C. § 793(e).

In Trump’s case, all the charges that he faces are over documents that federal investigators recovered after issuing a grand jury subpoena to the former president last June. Trump faces additional charges over allegations that he lied to investigators and tried to obstruct the investigation.

“I cannot fathom why you would jeopardize our nation by leaving these types of documents in your bathtub,” Bough told Kingsbury.

Photos released from the federal indictment against Trump showed that the former president also stored boxes of documents in his bathroom.

The most disturbing part about the case against Kingsbury was that prosecutors said their investigation turned up more questions than answers.

“Investigators reviewed Kingsbury’s telephone records, which revealed a number of suspicious calls,” the Department of Justice said in a statement. “Kingsbury contacted phone numbers associated with subjects of counterterrorism investigations, and these individuals also made telephone calls to Kingsbury.”

“Investigators have not been able to determine why Kingsbury contacted these individuals, or why these individuals contacted her,” the DOJ added. “Kingsbury declined to provide the government with any further information.”
