Fulton County (Atlanta) D.A.: Extreme security 'required for me to stay alive' after threats
FULTON COUNTY, Ga. — Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis said extraordinary measures have been taken to protect her and her family amid threats since a high-profile racketeering indictment involving Atlanta rappers and the creation of a special grand jury to investigate efforts to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia.
Willis spoke exclusively to Channel 2 investigative reporter Mark Winne about increasing threats against her.
She said that comments about her, mostly on social media, ramped up a lot after a sweeping gang indictment targeting Atlanta rappers Young Thug and Gunna and alleged members of the Young Slime Life Gang.
“We don’t believe that these threats were directed by anyone that is in the YSL indictment,” Willis said. “I would say that (threats are coming from) people that are very sympathetic, maybe admirers of YSL and people who are connected with them in some sense.”
She said she is also getting more hostile comments from former President Donald Trump’s supporters after she announced that a special grand jury is looking in to certain events connected to the most recent presidential election in Georgia.
