The New York Democratic congressman Jerry Nadler said he had been in communication with Capitol police and the FBI about a reported death threat from the far-right activist and Trump ally Roger Stone.

“It was a surprise to me. I just found out a few days ago … I saw it on Mediaite,” Nadler told reporters, naming the website which said it obtained audio of the threat and saying he had been in touch with authorities.
