US EditionMan sentenced to almost 4 years in prison over threats to senators
- John Anthony Miller, a 44-year-old from Las Vegas, received a federal prison sentence of 46 months on Tuesday for issuing antisemitic threats against U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen and others.
- In October 2023, Miller repeatedly contacted officials with threatening messages and antisemitic voicemails that referenced the Israel-Hamas conflict and the Holocaust, resulting in his arrest on October 26.
- He admitted guilt to a charge involving threats against a federal official, along with additional offenses related to threatening the relatives of two other senators, as noted by prosecutors.
- Miller's lawyer cited his methamphetamine addiction and minimal criminal record, calling the sentence "a little harsh for a nonviolent offender" but respecting the court's decision.
- The Justice Department condemned the threats as "vile, dehumanizing, and shameful," emphasizing accountability to protect public officials from intimidation and harm.
