Live updates: The latest news on Trump and the Fulton County, Georgia, election case ( www.cnn.com )

The Fulton County grand jury that is hearing the prosecution’s presentation of evidence ahead of potential charges against Donald Trump and others for 2020 election interference appears to be moving faster than initially anticipated.

Former Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan is now testifying today after being told to appear tomorrow initially, a person familiar tells CNN. Duncan is also a CNN contributor.

Earlier, CNN reported another witness, independent journalist George Chidi, who was scheduled for Tuesday will now be coming in on Monday instead.

Odds are the accelerated schedule is due to the likely target of the charges aggressively threatening the witness list. Only so many people involved in the prosecution, the judge & jury, and every known witness can have elevated security measures.

As the threats broaden, eventually it’s not economical to put security on everyone. Instead, maybe (hear me out) we should put the threat itself into some kind of secure facility so the public writ large is protected? I know it’s a crazy idea, but maybe the courts will actually do something about it at some point or another.
