A man in California has been charged with sending death threats to Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis because of her prosecution of former president Donald Trump.
Marc Shultz, 66, from Chula Vista, appeared in federal court in San Diego on Thursday and will be formally arraigned in Atlanta in June.
He is accused of making death threats against Willis in several comments on YouTube videos on October 4 and 5.
Shultz made a promise to violently murder her, used racial slurs and said she 'will be killed like a dog', according to the US Attorney's Office in the Northern District of Georgia.
Investigators believe he has targeted Willis because she is prosecuting Trump for his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia.
