It turned out that this threat is 58-year-old John Arens. From May to June 2021 he sent news to the regional television station KOTV (Newson6). He said in letters that he was ready to kill the president, congressmen and their relatives if he was not paid compensation.
A report on the U.S. Department of Justice's website states that threats to online officials also have implications. The arrest and indictment are also only the beginning of Ahrens' further trial for his actions.
