The names and addresses of the jurors who will determine former President Donald Trump’s fate in his upcoming New York City hush money trial should be kept relatively secret, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg argued in a Monday court filing.

The district attorney’s office is asking New York Supreme Court Justice Juan M. Merchan to issue a protective order that would keep jurors’ names limited to the parties and attorneys in the case — while limiting jurors’ personal and business addresses to attorneys.

The district attorney’s filing cites the defendant’s “extensive history of attacking jurors in other proceedings” as well as his conduct in the ongoing case in order to justify the two-tiered protective order.
