A request from Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to conceal the identity of jurors in her office's prosecution of former President Trump and 18 co-defendants was granted Monday by a judge.
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee, who is presiding over the case, gave jurors or prospective jurors new protections from being depicted during the trial beyond the existing precautions.
In addition, McAfee ordered that all parties involved cannot disclose information that would reveal a juror's identity – specifically, their names, addresses, phone numbers, or employment. She also noted in the request that her identity and that of others in her office were leaked. In response, several law enforcement agencies have implemented plans to protect the jurors from harassment and violence.
