Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis asked a judge on Wednesday to take steps to protect jurors who indicted former President Trump and over a dozen of his allies for their alleged attempts to flip Georgia’s election results in 2020.

Why it matters: Willis said at least 23 jurors in the case have had their personal information — including their names, ages, addresses and vehicle details —posted anonymously on “conspiracy theory websites” hosted by a Russian company as part of an effort to “harass and intimidate them.”

• She and other members of her office were also doxed, and their personal information was often “intertwined with derogatory and racist remarks,” Willis said in the filing.
• The information about her included her family members’ names, their dates of birth, home and work addresses, phone numbers, email addresses and “GPS coordinates.”

The Atlanta Police Department and the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office have put in place plans to protect the jurors from harassment and violence, according to the filing.

…

What they’re saying: Willis asked the court to protect jurors by restricting their appearance throughout the case and access to their identities.

The big picture: Willis’ filing comes just over a week after a judge ruled that all court proceedings in the case will be televised.
