Michigan's attorney general says she was among those targeted in an online threat to kill Jewish members of the state government.
Jack Eugene Carpenter III is accused in a criminal complaint of making threatening interstate communications when he tweeted last month a threat to “carry out the punishment of death to anyone that is jewish in the Michigan govt if they don’t leave, or confess, and now that kind of problem.
Because I can Legally do that, right?” On Thursday morning, Nessel tweeted, “The FBI has confirmed I was a target of the heavily armed defendant in this matter. It is my sincere hope that the federal authorities take this offense just as seriously as my Hate Crimes & Domestic Terrorism Unit takes plots to murder elected officials.” Her tweet embedded an article from the Jewish Telegraphic Agency citing the case. This story is breaking and will be updated.
