ATLANTA — Prosecutors in Atlanta are seeking an emergency order barring disclosure of discovery materials in the sweeping 2020 election interference case after excerpts of recorded interviews with some defendants were leaked.
The Fulton County district attorney's office previously asked Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee in September for a protective order over evidence provided to defendants in the 19-person racketeering case, but renewed the request on Tuesday after media outlets reported on snippets of so-called "proffer" videos from four defendants who struck plea deals in recent weeks.
