A Texas man was arrested Thursday after authorities say he threatened to kill an FBI agent involved in the Hunter Biden investigation, leaving a message that the last thing the agent will hear is the “horrified shrieks [of their] widows and orphans.”
Timothy Muller, 43, of Fort Worth, was taken into custody outside his home and charged with making threats and influencing, impeding or retaliating against a federal official. If convicted, he faces up to 10 years in prison.
Prosecutors say Mr. Muller left the voice message on the agent’s government-issued phone just hours after a jury in Delaware convicted Hunter Biden on three felony gun charges.
According to court records, Mr. Muller called the Baltimore-based agent and threatened to kidnap and kill him, baselessly accusing the agent of covering up child pornography on Hunter Biden’s laptop. There is no public record of child pornography being discovered on the laptop, nor has Hunter Biden been charged with any sex-related crimes.
“You can run, but you can’t f——— hide,” Mr. Muller said, according to court documents.
Mr. Muller also told the agent that former President Donald Trump would win the 2024 election and when that happens, he’ll be thrown in jail, the indictment alleges.
He also told the agent that if Mr. Trump loses the election, the consequences will be even graver for him and his fellow FBI officials.
“You can steal another election and the guns will come out and we’ll hunt you c————— down and slaughter you like the traitorous dogs that you are,” Mr. Mueller said in a minute-long voicemail, according to the complaint.
“The last thing you’ll ever hear are the horrified shrieks of your widows and orphans,” he allegedly said. “You’re going to jail if you’re lucky. But I suspect you won’t be.”
The messages included other expletives as well as homophobic slurs, the criminal complaint said.
A bail hearing is scheduled for next Tuesday, court records show.
Hunter Biden’s trial concluded this week with a guilty verdict when a jury convicted him of lying about his drug use when he filled out a federal form to purchase a gun in 2018.
