Authorities in Georgia said Thursday they are investigating threats against members of the grand jury that earlier this week indicted former President Trump and 18 of his allies.

Fulton County Sheriff Pat Labat’s office said investigators are working to trace the origin of the threats after grand jurors’ names and other personal information were posted online. The sheriff’s office said other local, state and federal law enforcement agencies were assisting.

We take this matter very seriously and are working with our law enforcement partners to respond quickly to any credible threat and to ensure the safety of those who performed their civic duty, the sheriff’s office said in a statement.

A Fulton County grand jury filed a 41-count indictment on Monday accusing Trump and 18 others of illegal conspiracy to overturn his 2020 Georgia election loss.

While the grand jury’s proceedings were secret, the unredacted names of the grand jurors were included in the indictment. That’s standard practice in Georgia, in part because it gives criminal defendants a chance to challenge the composition of the grand jury. The indictment itself is a public document.

The American Bar Assn. condemned all threats and online sharing of other personal information about the grand jurors.

The civic-minded members of the Georgia Grand Jury have fulfilled their duty to support our democracy, the association’s statement said. It is unconscionable that their lives are turned upside down and their safety threatened because they are good citizens.

Amid an increase in violent rhetoric targeting government officials, Georgia’s grand jurors are not alone in facing threats for their involvement in the four pending criminal cases against Trump.

A Texas woman has been charged with making a phone call on Aug. 5 in which she threatened to kill U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, who is overseeing the federal case against Trump in Washington. And on August 9, FBI agents killed a gunman from Utah who was about to be arrested on charges of making violent threats against President Biden and law enforcement officials involved in prosecuting Trump.
