A message Senator Lisa Murkowski received on September 2, 2021, went far beyond a typical voicemail from an unhappy constituent – the man on the other end was threatening the lawmaker’s life.
"I will find out everything, where you’re at. I will find out all your properties and I will burn everything you hope to have, and I will burn everything you own," the man said, according to an affidavit. He went on to ask if Murkowski had seen what a "50 calibre shell" does to a "human head," federal prosecutors said.
