11/3/23 Update: Floyd's lawyers intend to "prove" that trump won the 2020 election in GA. Floyd, asked a judge to compel several state agencies to turn over documents related to the 2020 election on Friday. Floyd’s attorneys say the documents they’re requesting are relevant to their client’s defense, which is based on Floyd’s belief that Trump indeed won Fulton County & the state of Georgia. “We can show that Trump won,” said Floyd’s attorney Chris Kachouroff. “(Floyd) believed that Trump won & the state’s saying ‘no, Trump lost.’ But if at the time he believed that Trump won & it turns out that we find evidence that Trump won, he may have been justified in what he did.” Floyd’s attorneys noted that they would be willing to enter into a protective order if the documents were turned over, meaning Floyd wouldn’t be able to disseminate the information in the documents publicly, only as part of his defense in court. They also offered to front the cost of finding the documents, arguing they have a right to see them. Judge Scott McAfee didn’t outright deny that request, instead telling Floyd’s attorneys to narrow the scope of what they were asking the Georgia Secretary of State’s Office & the Fulton County Board of Elections to turn over. McAfee ordered his attorneys to submit narrower, more specific requests from the agencies & scheduled the matter to be back in court in mid-November.
