A 59-year-old Alabama man is facing federal charges for threating Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and Fulton County Sheriff Pat Labat related to the prosecution of former President Donald Trump.
A federal grand jury in Georgia indicted Arthur Ray Hanson II of Huntsville, Alabama, on charges for transmitting interstate threats against public officials, The Hill reported Monday.
Hanson allegedly made the calls just days before Willis indicted Trump and 18 co-defendants in a racketeering case. Willis accused the former president and his associates of engaging in a conspiracy to subvert the state's 2020 election results. Trump has pleaded not guilty and denied any wrongdoing in the case.
Prosecutors also accuse Hanson of threatening Labat in a separate message, responding to Labat's public comments about the possibility of Trump being photographed for a mugshot. Hanson made his initial court appearance in Huntsville on Wednesday and is scheduled for arraignment on Nov. 13 in Atlanta. The court's docket does not list an attorney for Hanson. Each count carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison.
