Jared hill in new york. Thanks, jared. Now to Donald Trumps latest legal battle. Last night, the judge assigned to his election conspiracy case said that she would hold a hearing over a protective order requested by federal prosecutors. As robert costa reports, the request followed a social media post by trump that some found threatening. In a filing, trumps lawyers pushed back against prosecutors and their request to limit what the former president can say, arguing it is, in effect, asking the court to censor his political speech. The request from federal prosecutors came as trumps attacks against special counsel jack smith are now standard on the campaign trail. Hes a deranged human being. Those indictments arent worth the paper theyre written on. Reporter and his social media outbursts, including writing, if you go after me, im coming after you, prompted prosecutors to act, alarmed about the possibility that trump could divulge Sensitive Information or even evidence in the case.

Reporter trump lawyer john lauro said trump can speak out on free speech grounds.

And a special election is being held in ohio today that could have a big impact on abortion rights in that state. Voters will decide whether to raise the threshold required to amend the ohio constitution from the current simple majority to 60 of people casting ballots.
