A Florida man, Salvatore Russotto, 58, was indicted on June 27 for allegedly threatening to kill Alina Habba, the acting U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey. The indictment details that Russotto made approximately 86 threatening posts online, including statements about giving Habba a "slow and painful death." FBI Director Kash Patel described the suspect as a "dangerous copycat" inspired by what he termed reckless rhetoric from former officials.
