FORT WORTH, Texas – A Texas man has been charged with allegedly threatening an FBI special agent who was involved in an investigation into the dissemination of personal data from Hunter Biden’s laptopfederal prosecutors said Thursday.
Timothy Muller reportedly called the FBI agent on Tuesday, shortly after a federal jury in Delaware announced its guilty verdict against Hunter Biden. President Joe Biden’s son was convicted of three felonies in a federal gun trial.
The agent — who lives in Baltimore — hung up, prosecutors said in a news release, and Muller called back and threatened the agent and his family in a voicemail that lasted more than a minute.
“You can run, but you can’t (expletive) hide,” Muller told the agent.
Muller allegedly continued that former President Donald Trump would win re-election, “and then we’re going to (expletive) go through the FBI and start throwing you (expletive) people in jail. Or you can steal another election and then the guns will come out, and we’ll hunt you down (expletives) and kill you like the traitorous dogs you are in your own (expletives) homes.
After leaving voicemail, Muller sent several text messages to the agent, including: “How is the family? Safe?” and “Did you (expletives) really think you were going to disenfranchise 75 million Americans and not die? Lol.”
The name of the special agent was not released.
Muller, 43, of Fort Worth, Texas, is accused of threatening interstate communications and influencing, impeding or retaliating against a federal official. He faces up to 10 years in prison if he is convicted.
His federal public defender did not immediately return a request for comment Thursday.
The long saga of laptops began with a New York Post story in October 2020 that detailed some of the emails it said were found on the device related to Hunter Biden’s foreign trade dealings. It was quickly seized upon by Trump as a campaign issue during that year’s presidential election.
The owner of a computer repair shop in Wilmington, Delaware, said Hunter Biden left a laptop at his store in April 2019 and never returned to pick it up. The owner, John Paul Mac Isaac, admitted in his 2022 book to reviewing private and confidential material from Biden’s laptop, including a file titled “income.pdf.” He later contacted Republicans to review and release the material.
