LIVE UPDATES: Fulton DA prosecutors presenting Trump case to grand jury

August 14, 2023 Atlanta: On Monday, Aug. 14, 2023 sheriff’s cruisers and deputies on motorcycles were blocking the entrances to Pryor Street in the block in front of the Fulton County courthouse entrance where the case against former president, Donald Trump and others were presented before the grand jury. Outside an encampment of television news crews in their tents were doing their updates and reports from the street. Officials have tightened security in recent weeks, installing orange barricades and metal fencing and shutting down streets surrounding the courthouse to traffic and parking. Sheriff Pat Labat declined to provide any further details on his agency’s security plan, telling reporters “we look forward to the opportunity to show the world that we are ready.” (John Spink / John.Spink@ajc.com)
