58-year-old resident of the American state of Oklahoma John Arens is accused of sending messages threatening to kill US President Joe Biden.
According to the Ministry of Justice, it is assumed that this citizen may be involved in the threats, which spoke of the intention to crack down on congressmen and their family members. This is stated in a statement on the agency's website.
Between May and June, according to the materials, Ahrens sent messages to the local television station KOTV (Newson6), in which he threatened to kill Biden, members of Congress, and their families if he was not paid.
– Arens, presumably, sent Newson6 a series of e-mails with online threats of murder … The arrest and indictment of a man is just the first step to bringing him to justice, – the press service of the Ministry of Justice quotes the words of the acting attorney Clint Johnson.
