In today's online Newsweek there is coverage on the prosecution's filing of notice to the court and to the defense that they will introduce testimony from Freeman and her daughter, and of Don Trump's aggressive attacks on them. The prosecution is desiring to establish a pattern of behavior that Trump engaged in over many years and in many situations that lend support to their position that he was doing it all intentionally and with motive.

Donald Trump's Repeated Attacks on Mother and Daughter....
Mother and daughter, Ruby Freeman and Wandrea "Shaye" Moss were falsely accused of using suitcases of ballots to add votes for President Joe Biden at an Atlanta voting center during the 2020 presidential election.
Prosecutors filed allegation of online abuse against Trump on Tuesday. The prosecutor's filing shows for the first time that prosecutors intend to introduce evidence about Freeman and Moss into the Trump election fraud trial.
"Long after the charged conduct, the defendant continued to falsely attack two Georgia election workers, despite being on notice that his claims about them in 2020 were false and had subjected them to vile, racist, and violent threats and harassment," Senior Assistant Special Counsel Molly Gaston wrote in a nine-page court filing on Tuesday.
Trump listed one of them as being among the "monsters" who had stolen the 2020 election and "doubled down" on his attacks after the pair testified before the January 6 committee, the court filings show. Allegations that Trump's comments prompted racist abuse could be bad news for the former president. His trial will be before a jury in Washington, D.C.
In her submission, Gaston said Freeman and Moss gave "graphic testimony" to the January 6 committee "about the threats and harassment they endured after the defendant and his agents falsely accused them."
"In apparent response, the defendant then doubled down and recommenced his attacks on the election workers in posts on Truth Social," Gaston wrote. "He even zeroed in on one of the election workers, falsely writing that she was an election fraudster, a liar, and one of the 'treacher[ous...]monsters' who stole the country, and that she would be in legal trouble."
In Tuesday's filing, prosecutors said that Trump had a long history of "falsely blaming fraud for election results he does not like."
