The threats peaked after former President Donald Trump was arraigned Tuesday.
The NYPD intelligence division is investigating the threats to Merchan, which came in the form of social media posts.
"We have maintained an increased security presence in and around courthouses and throughout the judiciary and will adjust protocols as necessary," said spokesperson Lucian Chalfen. Threats have landed in Bragg's office by phone, email, and social media post. The source did not specify how many threats the D.A.'s office has received but said the number is significant.
During Trump's court appearance Tuesday, a prosecutor gave Merchan a printout of social media posts made by Trump, describing them as"public statements threatening our city, our justice system, our courts, and our office."
