The Georgia prosecutor who will oversee a special grand jury probe into Donald Trump’s efforts to pressure state officials into throwing out 2020 election results asked the Federal Bureau of Investigation for security assistance after the former president called out her office’s efforts during one of his signature political rallies.
In a letter to the FBI special agent in charge of the bureau’s Atlanta field office, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis said her office had already been receiving threats from Trump supporters who are displeased with the investigation. She added that those “security concerns” had “escalated” after Mr Trump’s Conroe, Texas rally, during which the twice-impeached one-term president attacked Ms Willis and two other prosecutors investigating him or his businesses, New York Attorney General Letitia James and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
