This past week, the Government submitted a proposed protective order in its DC case against Donald Trump.
August 5, 2023: Trump is ordered to file his response to the motion for protective order by 5:00 on Monday, August 7, 2023.
Judge Chutkan demands dates and times for a hearing on the protective order, which she orders to take place by August 11, 2023.
August 8, 2023: Judge Chutkan denies Trump's request and sets the protective order hearing for August 11, 2023 - exactly one week after the protective order was filed by Special Counsel Smith.
Judge Chutkan's history suggests that she is specifically targeting Trump, treating him worse than other defendants who have faced disputes over protective orders.
The Government sought a protective order in his case as well - and Judge Chutkan made sure the meth dealer had plenty of time to respond.
As you can see, when the scope of a protective order is disputed, Judge Chutkan typically sets out a reasonable schedule and allows for a defendant to have one week to respond to the government's proposed protective order.
