Fulton County (Georgia) District Attorney Fani Willis warned the county’s commissioners and other officials this weekend that they should “stay alert” over the coming month as she presents her case against already-indicted former president Donald Trump and his henchmen for attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election in Georgia.
CBS News reports Willis sent an email to commissioners advising that she received a number of threats and warnings, including an email with the subject line, “Fani Willis = Corrupt N*****.” The body of the email read, “You are going to fail, you Jim Crow Democrat whore.” Willis said the email was fairly typical of the kind her officer is getting from the general public lately.
“I took an oath. No one other than the citizens of Fulton County put me in this seat. I have every intention of doing my job. Please make decisions that keep your staff safe,” Willis wrote. In response to her email, the county’s solicitor general called the threat “reprehensible” and said his office will coordinate to “align us with other law enforcement partners within the county.”
