A federal grand jury in Orlando on Friday indicted Salvatore Russotto, 58, for allegedly making online death threats against Alina Habba, the interim U.S. attorney for the District of New Jersey and a former personal lawyer to Donald Trump. Prosecutors say Russotto posted a series of messages on 19 May that urged followers to "86" Habba—a slang term investigators interpret as a call to "get rid of" someone—along with explicit references to giving her a "slow painful death." The indictment charges him with transmitting interstate threats and retaliating against a federal law-enforcement officer. Agents from the FBI and the U.S. Marshals Service arrested Russotto on Friday morning. At an afternoon hearing, a federal judge released him on bond under conditions that he surrender his passport and refrain from using social media. His arraignment is set for 3 July. FBI Director Kash Patel said the case illustrates a surge in "copycat" threats sparked by former FBI Director James Comey’s widely criticized "86 47" social-media post last month, adding that the bureau "will not tolerate political violence in any form."
