A Pennsylvania man has plead guilty to making death threats to Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) and members of his staff. Joshua Hall, 22, pleaded guilty to one count of making interstate communications with a threat to injure and faces a maximum sentence of five years in prison. He had previously pleaded guilty to charges of wire fraud in relation to a fake fundraising organization, Gay Voices for Trump. Hall admitted to impersonating Trump family members on social media, including the former president’s son Barron and late brother Robert, in an effort to defraud donors. In late August, Swalwell revealed that he and his staff had been the targets of threatening phone calls from someone claiming to be a gay conservative. Swalwell tweeted at the time, “A staffer of mine who’s 1 month into her job received a call from a man saying he’s coming to our office w/an assault rifle to kill me.” According to the memo shared by Swalwell, the caller ranted about 'gay issues' and “said he is a gay man, but he doesn’t take it up the ass he gives it.” The man 'used the F slur several times' to describe other gay men. Swalwell has warned about the attacks on the gay community in the past saying, “I hesitate to share this but how else do I tell you we are in violent times, & the architects are Trump & McCarthy. Bloodshed is coming.” #politics
