Per AP: Stating that the statute of limitations for any possible crime arising from the 2020 Election has long expired, a federal judge ruled on Tuesday that Trump’s Justice Department cannot have the names and personal contact information for every person who worked during the 2020 election in Georgia’s Fulton County.
In April, the Department of Justice obtained a grand jury subpoena seeking the names and personal contact information of county employees and volunteer poll workers based on Donald Trump’s long-standing claim that widespread voter fraud in Georgia’s most populous county cost him victory in the state in 2020.
Fulton County asked a judge to quash the subpoena, arguing it was meant to “target, harass and punish the President’s perceived political opponents” and that it was “grossly overbroad and untethered to any reasonable need.”
“Given the low need for the subpoenaed information and the highly burdensome nature of the disclosure of the same, the Subpoena is unreasonable and must be quashed,” US District Judge William Ray determined.
