A California man has been indicted by a federal grand jury in Atlanta on charges of threatening Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis because of her prosecution of former President Donald Trump, the Justice Department said Friday in a release. Marc Shultz, 66, of Chula Vista, California, made his initial appearance on Thursday in federal court in San Diego. He was indicted on April 24 and will be arraigned in Atlanta in June, according to the release. “Threats of violence against government officials, specifically, threaten the very fabric of our democracy,” said Keri Farley, special agent in charge of the FBI’s field office Atlanta. Willis has been dealing with ongoing threats since taking on the case.
