Lawyer for Trump Co-Defendant Admits Leaking Witness Videos

Jonathan Miller, an attorney for Misty Hampton, has confessed to sharing witness proffer videos with a media outlet in the Fulton County district attorney's 2020 election interference case. The videos featured key figures in the case, including Sidney Powell and Jenna Ellis, who have since pleaded guilty to related charges. Miller stated during an emergency hearing for a protective order that he believed sharing the videos was in his client's best interest. The judge will issue a protective order to prevent further disclosure of certain discovery information.

Miller defended his actions by asserting that hiding the proffers misleads the public and that the videos actually helped his client. The leaked footage included Ellis recounting a conversation with Trump adviser Dan Scavino, in which he stated that Trump would not leave the White House regardless of the election results. Powell also testified that Trump was repeatedly informed by others that he had lost the election.

Fulton County prosecutors sought the protective order after the leaked videos were published by ABC News and The Washington Post. They argue that the disclosure compromises the integrity of the case. Trump and other co-defendants have proposed a protective order that would require the district attorney's office to designate sensitive evidence ahead of time, with defendants given the opportunity to contest the designation.
