A "fair trial" does not include witness intimidation.

There were only two logical choices at this point, either not providing the witness list to the trump defense team, or locking trump up because of witness intimidation.

In case you've forgotten, witness intimidation has already occurred in this case, even after the gag order was strengthened.

From all of the news reporting, most of the witnesses are already known, being trump inner circle individuals over the years. It shouldn't have been be too hard for the trump defense team to prepare for that list of witnesses. It's the few obscure witness which they might not expect, that could throw them off their game when they're called to the stand to testify. The trump defense team should have already done their background research on the known witnesses and been compiling data to question these witnesses about. Not knowing in which order they'd be called in, simply means that the defense team will need to carry binders full of that data to court on a daily basis.

If because the trump defense team has been desperately trying to get this case tossed out, they've FAILED to have compiled the necessary information on the known witnesses, that's their problem, it not the problem of the prosecution or the judge. I'd say it was incompetence on the part of the Trump defense team if they aren't prepared for the already known witnesses.
