Fani Willis opens up about racial slurs and violent threats targeting family during Trump prosecution

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis said her family faces racial slurs and violent threats following the prosecutions of former President Donald Trump and rapper Young Thug.

Willis revealed the threats over the weekend at the Revolt World festival hosted by Sean "Diddy" Combs. The remarks were reported on Tuesday by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

"It's very unfair to the other people and it's a waste of time," Willis explained. "It's not going to stop what I'm doing."

"It's been very troubling. I've become very private about my family because of the threats," she added.

Willis said her daughters, father, and ex-husband had all had their personal information leaked online. Some of the online posts included threats and racial slurs, she said.

Following the prosecution of Trump and 18 co-defendants, the FBI said it was aware of threats against prosecutors in Georgia.
