Georgia investigates threats against Trump grand jurors after details posted online

The Fulton county sheriff's office announced that it was "aware that personal information of members of the Fulton county grand jury is being shared on various platforms" and was working to track down the origins of the threats in Fulton county.

The sheriff's office said: "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"

On Monday the Fulton county grand jury returned a 41-count indictment charging Trump and others with illegally conspiring to overturn his 2020 election loss in Georgia.

Media Matters, a left-leaning non-profit that tracks conservative media, reported that the names, addresses, social media accounts and other information of the jurors were posted on far-right message boards, a practice known as "doxxing".

The organisation said that users on a message board known to be a hotbed of QAnon conspiracy theorists referred to the list of jurors as a "hitlist". One user said they will "follow these people home and photograph their faces". Another replied, "Godspeed anons, you have all the long range rifles in the world."

Users on another pro-Trump forum said the jurors "have signed their death warrant by falsely indicting President Trump", according to NBC News.
