Manhattan prosecutors ask judge to limit Trump’s ability to publicize information about his criminal case

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 15:04:20 GMT

(CNN) — Prosecutors with the Manhattan district attorney’s office have asked the judge overseeing Donald Trump’s criminal case to impose a protective order restricting the former president’s ability to publicize information about the investigation.In a motion, prosecutors told the judge that Trump’s team would not consent to a protective order.“The risk that this Defendant will use the Covered Materials inappropriately is substantial.

Big Pharma has met its match. Brussels held firm on a planned overhaul of its pharmaceutical rules on Wednesday, confirming a punishing new measure that will cut into the sector’s bottom line. The proposed rules would remove two years of data protection from all new medicines launched in the European Union, allowing unbranded rivals to enter the market more quickly. Since details of this measure were first revealed in a leaked draft published by POLITICO in January, pharma companies have been up in arms about this threat to their earnings. Politicians and activists feared that a recent last minute delay was a sign that the industry had successfully lobbied to water down the package. But while the final version contains some sweeteners for industry, the overall shape of the package — which consists of one regulation and one directive — has stayed the same.Access above allThe reform puts forward a mix of carrots and sticks to try and fix big issues afflicting the market...
