The Justice Department announced on Monday that federal prosecutors have charged a 45-year-old Colorado man with threatening to kill election officials and a local judge. The man, Teak Brockbank, allegedly posted violent messages targeting officials in Colorado and Arizona, accusing them of treason and calling for their execution.
Brockbank has been charged with transmitting interstate threats, which carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison. He is expected to make his initial appearance in federal court on Monday.
