A Montana man is facing several years in prison after he made dozens of angry calls threatening former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy after a Chinese spy balloon floated over his city.
Richard Rogers, 45, was convicted Wednesday by a federal jury of threatening to harm a member of congress, as well as two counts of making harassing telephone calls, as reported by the Associated Press. Prosecutors said that Rogers made more than 100 threatening phone calls to McCarthy's office in 2023, plus 150 more to the FBI tip line in 2021 and 2022.
