The judge presiding over the Georgia case against former President Donald Trump prohibited the release of information that could reveal the identity of jurors and prospective jurors while the trial is pending.

“Jurors/prospective jurors shall be identified by number only in court filings or in open court during the pendency of trial,” Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee said in a Sept. 26 order. “No party shall disclose during the pendency of the trial any juror/prospective juror information that would reveal a juror’s/prospective juror’s identity, including names, addresses, telephone numbers, or identifying employment information.”
