Authorities in Georgia, USA, are currently probing online threats directed at the members of the grand jury that recently indicted Donald Trump.

These threats involved the sharing of personal details, such as jurors' addresses and images, on right-wing online platforms. The Fulton County Sheriff's Office is actively investigating the threats, aiming to identify the individuals responsible.

The jurors' names were already made public as part of the indictment process, a customary procedure in Georgia. However, after their identities were disclosed in the official document, supporters of ex-President Trump took to the internet to gather more information and posted photos and addresses on platforms like Telegram.

This incident follows closely after the jury's decision to indict Trump on charges including racketeering and election meddling, with Trump asserting that the charges are driven by political motives.

Authorities are treating the threats and sharing of personal information as potential jury intimidation, and are collaborating with various law enforcement agencies to trace the source and protect the jurors' safety.

One message, which disclosed the names and potential contact information of jurors, was shared on Facebook but later deleted.

Other messages posted by users to Truth Social, the site owned by Mr. Trump, urged supporters of the top Republican to "make sure [the jurors] can't walk down the street" and to make them "infamous".

Some posts reportedly include violent rhetoric against Fani Willis, the prosecutor who is overseeing Mr Trump's case in Georgia.

Two NBC News reporters who wrote about the grand jury incident also had their own purported addresses posted online, the Reuters news agency reported.

Media Matters, a non-profit that monitors conservative media bodies, condemned the sharing of jurors' information as a "hit list".

Georgia is an outlier in the US legal system as it shares the identity of the jurors, which it says is to allow the public to have greater faith in the legal system.

But they don't make their addresses or any other personal information public.

Mr. Trump, who is the front-runner for the Republican nomination to run for president in the 2024 election, has consistently hit out at those leading cases against him.

Earlier this month US prosecutors reported a post he wrote on Truth to a judge, claiming it was intended to intimidate people involved in a case against him.

Meanwhile, a woman in Texas has been charged with threatening to kill a judge overseeing another case against Mr Trump.

Last week, FBI agents killed an armed man in Utah who reportedly made death threats against Joe Biden, a few hours before the president landed in the state. He came to the attention of federal agents after posting a threat on Truth Social. The company alerted the FBI's National Threat Operations Center.

On Thursday a Canadian woman was jailed in the US for 22 years for sending a letter laced with ricin to Donald Trump when he was president.

Thanks for letting us know, only God can help us out.

I see.
