A federal judge in Atlanta is blocking the Justice Department from obtaining the names and contact details of every person who worked the 2020 election in Fulton County, saying the grand jury subpoena is unreasonable and grossly overbroad.The subpoena follows an FBI search that seized hundreds of boxes of ballots and related documents at the Fulton County election hub and arises from false fraud claims by Donald Trump, but Judge William Ray notes the statute of limitations for related crimes has expired, making prosecutions unlikely.Justice Department lawyers, including William McComb, say broad information-gathering is a routine investigative step to identify witnesses or people with relevant knowledge, and they defended the subpoena as part of fact-finding before any charging decision.Fulton County officials and the Fulton County Board of Registration and Elections contend the demand would intimidate volunteers and employees, chilling future participation, and the judge warns courts will not permit fishing expeditions that sweep thousands of private records without a clear need.
