TL;DR Summary

The identities of jurors in the Georgia election interference case involving former President Donald Trump will remain confidential until the trial concludes, according to a ruling by Judge Scott McAfee. The judge ordered that jurors be identified by number only in court filings or open court proceedings, and prohibited the disclosure of their personal information. The decision comes after violent threats were made against officials in Fulton County, prompting an FBI investigation. Trump faces 13 criminal counts in the case, along with 18 co-defendants, all of whom have pleaded not guilty.
