A New Hampshire man has been charged with threatening to killing an unnamed U.S. senator purported over Congress block military promotion.
Federal prosecutors said Friday that Brian Landry, 66, has been charged with threatening to assault, kidnap or murder a U.S. official in connection with the official’s performance of official duties.
The charges are in connection with a voicemail he left last month for the unidentified senator.
Landry has admitted to calling the senator’s office.
About 200 defense-related promotions have been stalled in the Senate over Alabama GOP Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s opposition to a Pentagon policy that provides paid time off and travel expenses for service members and dependents seeking abortions.
