Fulton Country District Attorney Fani Willis said extraordinary security measures have been taken to protect her and her family amid multiple death threats.
There has been an influx of concerning threats against D.A. Willis after the high-profile racketeering indictment involving rappers Young Thug and Gunna.
To add insult to injury, she’s receiving even more threats after the creation of the special grand jury to investigate efforts to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia.
Most of the threats against District Attorney Fani Willis and her family have been made online, mostly on social media.
We don’t believe that these threats were directed by anyone that is in the YSL indictment.
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.
One person went as far as posting instructions on how to get Willis’ home address for anyone who wants to really pull up.
District Attorney Fani Willis noted that the comments regarding the election are more hostile than the threats over the RICO case.
Oh, it is definitely a significant driver of the heightened security.
People are angry about that investigation. People are angry about investigations into gangs, so each of those things plays a factor.
It was just four months ago, that Willis requested FBI security after launching the investigation into the 2020 election.
She didn’t go into detail about what security measures are being taken, but they have dramatically altered her day-to-day life.
I’m much more cautious than I’ve ever been in my life, paying more attention to my surroundings.
It’s required for me to stay alive.
But, one thing is clear, D.A. Willis says she is not backing down.
I’m not going to be intimidated from doing it, and doing it in the correct fashion and holding people accountable.

Sending up prayers of protection for Fani Willis and her loved ones.
