亚特兰大的一个联邦大陪审团周一起诉了一名阿拉巴马男子，指控他威胁富尔顿县地方检察官范尼·威利斯起诉前总统唐纳德·特朗普。
阿瑟·雷·汉森被指控传播州际威胁，伤害威利斯和富尔顿县警长帕特里克·拉巴特，他控制着特朗普被采集指纹和拍照的监狱8月被起诉罪名是试图推翻格鲁吉亚2020年总统选举结果。
汉森在阿拉巴马州的亨茨维尔联邦法院首次出庭，并将于下个月被带到亚特兰大接受传讯。
根据法庭记录，59岁的汉森在8月份给富尔顿县客户服务热线打了两次电话，并留下了两条语音信息，威胁要对威利斯和拉巴实施暴力。
法庭记录援引汉森在留给威利斯的信息中的话说:“晚上开车时要小心，进家门时，要注意你要去的每一个地方。”。
“如果我是你，我会非常害怕，因为你不能一直呆在保护你的人身边;法庭记录显示，这条信息写道:“有些时候你会变得脆弱。”。“当你以第四项罪名指控特朗普时，无论何时你独自一人，都要小心谨慎。”

美国司法部长瑞安·布坎南说:“发出跨州威胁，对检察官和执法人员进行身体伤害是一种卑鄙的行为，旨在干扰司法，恐吓那些接受保护和捍卫公民权利的庄严义务的个人。”“当有人威胁要伤害为执行我们的刑法而工作的公务员时，这可能会削弱我们社会的基础。”
特朗普和其他18人不服罪8月，他被控试图推翻格鲁吉亚选举结果，这是一份全面的敲诈勒索起诉书。四名被告随后接受认罪协议作为交换，你要同意指证本案中的其他人。
前总统抨击地方检察官的调查是出于政治动机。
Alabama man charged with threatening Fulton County DA Fani Willis over Trump election case
A federal grand jury in Atlanta indicted an Alabama man Monday on charges that he threatened Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis over herprosecutionof former President Donald Trump.
Arthur Ray Hanson was charged with transmitting interstate threats to injure Willis and Fulton County Sheriff Patrick Labat, who controls the jail where Trump was fingerprinted and photographed after he wasindicted in Auguston charges of trying to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in Georgia.
Hanson made an initial appearance in Huntsville federal court in Alabama, and will be brought to Atlanta for an arraignment next month.
Hanson, 59, called the Fulton County customer service line twice in August and left two voicemail messages threatening violence against Willis and Labat, according to court records.
"Watch it when you're going to the car at night, when you're going into your house, watch everywhere that you're going," court records quoted Hanson as saying in the message left for Willis.
"I would be very afraid if I were you because you can't be around people all the time that are going to protect you; there's going to be moments when you're going to be vulnerable," the message said, according to court records. "When you charge Trump on that fourth indictment, anytime you're alone, be looking over your shoulder."
"Sending interstate threats to physically harm prosecutors and law enforcement officers is a vile act intended to interfere with the administration of justice and intimidate individuals who accept a solemn duty to protect and safeguard the rights of citizens," said U.S. Attorney Ryan Buchanan. "When someone threatens to harm public servants for doing their jobs to enforce our criminal laws, it potentially weakens the very foundation of our society."
Trump and 18 otherspleaded not guiltyin August to all charges in a sweeping racketeering indictment for alleged efforts to overturn Georgia's election results. Four defendants have subsequentlytaken plea dealsin exchange for agreeing to testify against others in the case.
The former president has blasted the district attorney's investigation as being politically motivated.
