A 32-year-old man from Las Vegas, Spencer Gear, has been charged with threatening to injure and kill government officials in three states and the District of Columbia. The charges include threats against the New York judge and prosecutor involved in former President Donald Trump's criminal hush money trial. Gear pleaded not guilty to 22 felony charges of threatening a federal official and transmitting threats to injure.
The indictment, filed under seal on July 16, lists 11 alleged victims by initials, including Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and New York Judge Juan M. Merchan. The threats were made in a phone call from Nevada to New York.
