Names and addresses of grand jurors in Donald Trump's election interference probe are leaked online with cops investigating threats made against them The Fulton County Sheriff's Office said it was investigating threats to grand jury It comes after the names and addresses of jurors were leaked on social media By Alexander Butler Published: 09:07, 18 August 2023 | Updated: 09:42, 18 August 2023 e-mail 18 shares 36 View comments Law enforcement officials are investigating threats targeting members of the grand jury that indicted former President Donald Trump and 18 of his allies, after names and addresses of jurors were leaked online, a sheriff's office said. The Fulton County Sheriff's Office said: 'Our investigators are working closely with local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies to track down the origin of threats in Fulton County and other jurisdictions.' It comes after several users on Trump’s social media platform Truth Social posted the names and addresses of the court's jurors, according to The Independent . Posts were also found with violent rhetoric against Fani Willis, the Fulton County district attorney, who oversaw the more-than-two-year investigation of a suspected scheme by Trump and 18 others to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. Advance Democracy president Dan Jones, whose organisation uncovered some of the leaks, said: 'Statements by Trump and his allies continue to inspire violent language and threats online.

'It is critical that the Fulton County Sheriff's Office take this matter seriously. Equally important is that political leaders on the right denounce these threats and the statements that inspire them.' Fulton County contains Atlanta, Georgia's largest city and the state capital. This month, following an indictment by U.S. Special Counsel Jack Smith on Republican Trump's efforts to overturn his election defeat to Democrat Joe Biden, Trump lashed out on his Truth Social media site, saying, 'IF YOU GO AFTER ME, I'M COMING AFTER YOU!' The 98-page Georgia indictment on Monday listed 19 defendants and 41 criminal counts in all. Echoing his criticism of the other investigations he faces, Trump has called the indictment a political 'witch hunt.' Trump is the front-runner for the Republican nomination to run for president in the 2024 election. '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,' the sheriff's office said. An indictment in Georgia that is available as a public record includes the names of grand jurors but not their addresses or any other personally identifiable information. A woman from Texas was charged this month with threatening the federal judge overseeing Trump's separate criminal case in Washington about the 2020 election . Reports by Advance Democracy, which conducts public interest investigations, this week found posts by users on at least four social media websites targeting the grand jurors that 'often included violent rhetoric.' 'These jurors have signed their death warrant by falsely indicting President Trump,' one report quoted a poster as saying.
