A man from Montana, Richard Rogers, aged 45, has been found guilty by a federal jury for making threatening phone calls against then-Speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy. The conviction came after Rogers made over 100 threatening calls to McCarthy's office following the U.S. government's shooting down of a Chinese balloon over Montana.
Prosecutors revealed that Rogers made the calls in a span of just 75 minutes on February 3 of the previous year. Additionally, he also placed over 150 calls to the FBI tip line between 2021 and 2022.
