SUMMARY: A federal judge issued a protective order in the Jackson bribery case, restricting the disclosure of sensitive information. The case involves Hinds County District Attorney Jody Owens, Jackson Mayor Chokwe A. Lumumba, and Councilman Aaron Banks, who face charges of conspiracy, bribery, wire fraud, and money laundering. The defendants allegedly accepted over $200,000 in bribes from FBI-infiltrated developers for favorable votes on a downtown project.

Trials for the accused are still pending.
