He also shook his head in apparent disgust when told he'll be in contempt if he uses DA evidence to harass witnesses.
Trump shook his head "no" in apparent disgust when the judge told his lawyer, Todd Blanche, that he risks sanctions and a finding of contempt if he violates the order.
"He is free to do anything that does not violate the specific terms of this protective order," the judge told Blanche.
The protective order bars Trump from using the prosecution's most sensitive evidence for anything other than his own defense.
"I have less than zero confidence," Cohen told Insider of Trump's ability to abide by the protective order and restrain himself from using sensitive evidence to attack witnesses.
