Sheriff's office says investigators are working to pinpoint origin of threats. Plus, the former Russian minister who is now a trucker in Michigan

How did they get the information? As is standard practice in Georgia, the unredacted names of the jury members were included in the indictment, which is a public record.
What information has been published? Names, photos, social media profiles and even home addresses were shared on rightwing sites and forums, CNN reported.
