WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Donald Trump's lawyers on Friday will urge a judge to give the former U.S. president more leeway to publicly share portions of the evidence that will be used in his trial on charges of plotting to overturn the 2020 election.

The lawyers' request goes against the objections of prosecutors, who are concerned that Trump could use details of the confidential evidence to intimidate witnesses.
