Charge against me, much less a conviction, josé. >> is this something -- i mean, nothing in this case has precedent, but is this something you normally hear about in a case like this? >> yeah. forgive my life for a second, but protective orders are standard in a criminal case like this. perhaps what is not as standard is the broadness the government is asking for. the government here is telling the judge over seeing the case that we need a protective order because this is a person that time and...

>> reporter: lets be very clear here, josé, what donald trump is doing. hes running a campaign against the doj, and the counsel against him, and for donald trump using the word unfair is an extension of the campaign. donald trump is using his social media posts and using the microphone at events like this rally this afternoon to attack the department of justice to make the claim that the protective order being sought by the special counsel is an effort to silence his first amendment free speech...
