Confidential 2020 election records subpoenaed by a co-defendant in Donald Trump’s Georgia election interference case cannot be publicly disclosed, a judge ruled Friday.
Fulton County District Court Judge Scott McAfee's order came in response to Harrison Floyd’s request, made at a Nov. 3 hearing, court records show. It means he has access to the records, but they cannot be shared outside of his legal team.
Floyd — the Black Voices for Trump leader accused of harassing a Georgia poll worker in an attempt to overturn the 2020 presidential election — demanded election records that conspiracy theorists believe prove Trump won, according to the records.
His request was countered by a motion from the Georgia Secretary of State to quash the subpoena, according to an Atlanta Journal-Constitution report.

McAfee’s order covers records that cannot be produced without redaction or are broadly exempt from disclosure and states, court records show. Confidential documents would be destroyed or returned after the case closed.
Floyd will appear in court next week after District Attorney Fani Willis filed a motion to revoke his bond over social media and on-air comments she argues constitute witness intimidation.
