In one threatening voicemail to a member of Congress, Capriotti was heard saying, 'We will surround the motherf***ing White House and we will kill any motherf***ing Democrat that steps on the motherf***ing lawn.'
FBI agents interviewed Capriotti in Orland Park in February 2020 about those messages, and he confirmed he had been leaving messages for members of Congress on several occasions between 2017 and 2020. He"also acknowledged that the voicemail messages he left in 2020 and years beforehand could be interpreted as hateful and threatening," according to the charges.
During the interview, FBI agents told Capriotti he needed to stop making threatening calls, and warned him he might face charges if he continued. In a voicemail message on Nov. 18, 2020, Capriotti claimed"he had 'killed' several 'terrorists' in prior wars and that he 'will continue to kill them because that's what I am trained to do.'" He also claimed"'in the next couple weeks, some big news is about to go down' and that certain individuals 'are going to be astonished of what's going to be revealed,'" the charges state.
In a message for yet another member of Congress on Dec. 4, 2020, Capriotti again falsely claimed to be an active-duty Marine, and said the lawmaker"was mistaken if they believed that 'Joe Biden' and 'Kamala Harris' were 'going to walk into that f***ing White House'" on inauguration day. He also called the lawmaker a"terrorist" and ended the message by saying the lawmaker could"choke in hell.
