Timothy Muller, 43, was charged in a criminal complaint with
making threatening communications across state lines and
"influencing, impeding or retaliating" against a federal
official.
It was not immediately clear if Muller, of Fort Worth, had
retained an attorney in the case, which was filed in U.S.
District Court for the Northern District of Texas.Prosecutors
referred to Hunter Biden only by the initials "H.B." but the
dates of the criminal case against him match those of the
president's son.
According to the criminal complaint, Muller on June 11 called an
FBI agent who had been assigned to investigate a laptop
belonging to Hunter Biden. When the agent disconnected the call,
Muller called again and left a threatening voice message, the
complaint alleges.Biden on June 11 was convicted of lying about
his illegal drug use to buy a gun.
Prosecutors say Muller accused the agent of covering up crimes
committed by Biden and said that if former U.S. President Donald
Trump were elected in November, the FBI agent would be jailed.
"Or, you can steal another election, and then the guns will come
out, and we’ll hunt you [expletive]s down and slaughter you like
the traitorous dogs you are in your own [expletive] homes In
your own [expletive] beds," Muller said on the message,
according to the criminal complaint.
