Todd Blanche, Trump’s attorney, resisted the idea of barring all contact with the case’s witnesses, in a back-and-forth with the judge that played out over several rounds.
“Many of the people, including the men and women to protect him, may be witnesses in this case,” Blanche said.
If the Trump team found the list “inappropriate,” “excessive,” “unwieldly,” or otherwise problematic, they could file a motion with the court, Goodman said.
Trump looked through the bond package, a packet of paper, and then gave it Blanche to look through.
However, his bond package was discussed and approved, and handed to the table for him to sign.
