May 23 (UPI) -- Former president Donald Trump is appearing remotely Tuesday in a New York City courtroom, where a judge is expected to warn him about sharing evidence related to his 34-count criminal indictment.

New York State Supreme Court Judge Juan Merchen is expected to caution Trump against sharing any evidence turned over to his legal team during discovery.

The protective order bars Trump from sharing any documents or other evidence not already in the public.

Merchen's order specifically refers to publicly disclosing "any news on social media platforms, including, but not limited to, Truth Social, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Twitter, Snapchat or YouTube, without prior approval from the court."
