The Georgia prosecutor who has brought charges accusing former President Donald Trump and others of illegally trying to overturn the results of the 2020 election in the state is asking the judge in the case to take steps to protect jurors.
The preemptory step by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis comes after the grand jurors who last month returned the wide-ranging 41-count indictment against Trump and 18 others were harassed after their information was posted online. It's a reflection of the highly polarized feelings surrounding the criminal cases against the former president.
