USA TodayAug 02, 2023
The Facts
The Fulton County Sheriff's Office in Georgia said on Friday it's investigating alleged threats made against members of the grand jury that indicted former US Pres. Donald Trump this week after the jurors' personal information was disseminated online.
Reports have emerged that photographs, home addresses, and social media profiles that match the names of at least 13 out of the 26 jurors are circulating on far-right websites. In Georgia, the names of grand jury members are included in the indictment.
The Spin
Democratic narrative
Trapped under a mountain of legal woes, Donald Trump has resorted to lashing out at those prosecuting him, fomenting violence. His long track record of disparaging and attacking government officials has emboldened his followers to threaten violence against those that are simply doing their job. Unless Trump rebukes violence and tones down his rhetoric, the violent threats will only continue in severity thanks to his tacit approval.
Pro-Trump narrative
The indictments against Donald Trump should never have been made in the first place, as it's a weaponized legal system, not Trump, that is inciting discontent and anger. The American people are upset about these blatantly political charges, which risk inflaming tensions in the country. These charges are clearly partisan and are robbing the voting public of making the ultimate judgment on Trump next year.
