Defendant would have access and knowledge.
The Judge basically said the media can see the list (not that Trump cannot see the list), However, she also said Special Counsel could still have their request approved if they provide better reasons to not release the witness list to the public.
US District Judge Aileen Cannon ruled on Monday that special counsel Jack Smith cannot file under seal the names of 84 potential witnesses who may offer incriminating testimony after former President Donald Trump's handling of classified documents.
Cannon in a brief order wrote that she was not convinced that federal prosecutors did not have other means at their disposal to justify shielding the list of potential witnesses from public view.
