The Fulton County Sheriff's Office in Georgia is currently investigating online threats made against the grand jurors who voted to indict former President Donald J. Trump and 18 others for conspiring to overturn Georgia's 2020 election results. Some of the jurors' identities have been shared on social media, including their faces, social media profiles, and possible addresses and phone numbers. These posts have suggested that the jurors should be harassed or made "infamous." It is unclear if anyone has acted upon these suggestions.
The county sheriff's office has stated that it is aware of the threats and is working with other agencies to track down their origin. However, they have not confirmed whether any jurors have reported harassment.
This is not the first time that prosecutions against Trump have resulted in threats. Just this month, a Texas woman was charged with threatening to kill the judge overseeing the federal election interference case against the former president.
In Georgia, the jurors were selected from across Fulton County, where District Attorney Fani T. Willis spent two and a half years investigating actions by Trump and his allies and presented evidence to the jury. The indictment, spanning 98 pages, listed the names of the jurors as required in Georgia.
