A judge granted Fulton County prosecutors' request to shield identifying information about jurors in the Georgia election interference case against former President Donald Trump, which negated the need for a planned hearing on Tuesday.

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee set strict limits on identifying jurors involved in the case against Trump and 18 co-defendants, as two including attorneys Sidney Powell and Kenneth Chesebro have asked for a speedy trial and are likely headed toward jury selection next month.

The court's standing rules block the use of photographic or electronic equipment without a judge's consent. McAfee's order gives an added buffer by blocking drawing in an identifiable manner or otherwise recording images or statements of jurors or prospective jurors.

McAfee added that jurors and prospective jurors will be identified by their numbers in court filings while the trial is pending, and set restrictions on releasing any identifiable information about such individuals.

The order affects the trial of Chesebro and Powell, who will have their case weighed jointly starting Oct. 23, when jury selection will commence. Up to 900 prospective jurors are being directed to appear in a Fulton County courtroom next month for the selection process.

However, there will be an exception for recording audio of the jury foreperson's announcement of a verdict or questions the jury has for a judge. McAfee had scheduled a hearing Tuesday morning to discuss the matter but canceled it after his Monday evening decision.

News organizations consented to the order, but had asked for a more limited one in response to District Attorney Fani Willis's requested order, arguing it would impede their ability to report on the jury selection.

Willis's reasoning for her request was to prevent a "clearly foreseeable" outcome that jurors would be doxxed if their names were allowed to be publicly known, adding that revealing their identities could ruin any ability to make impartial decisions without outside influence.

Last month, a website surfaced showcasing the purported names and addresses of the grand jurors involved in the indictment that was handed up to Willis last month.

The indictment listed the names of the grand jury members but did not include their addresses or other personal information.
