Fulton Grand Jurors From Trump Indictment Threatened: Sheriff

ATLANTA, GA — Threats are being made against the Fulton County grand jurors — who reportedly voted to indict former President Donald J. Trump, according to the Fulton County Sheriff's Office.

Authorities said Thursday the personal information of the jurors was being spread on various social media platforms. Local, state and federal law-enforcement agencies were working to pinpoint the origin of the threats. Authorities did not specify the type of threats made against the jurors.

"We take this matter very seriously and are coordinating with our law enforcement partners to respond quickly to any credible threat and to ensure the safety of those individuals who carried out their civic duty," authorities said in a news release.

Screenshots obtained by the left-leaning nonprofit Media Matters For America reportedly showed names of the jurors and their addresses. In one of the screenshots, a person claiming to be an aspiring journalist said they needed to follow "these people home and photograph their faces" for historical context.

In a statement to Channel 2 Action News, the FBI Atlanta office said it is aware of threats made against Fulton County officials. The FBI said it is working alongside the sheriff's office but will not "discuss details of ongoing investigations.

If anyone becomes aware of a threat, they are asked to call 911 or a local police department.
