Randall E. Tarr of Rochester, Illinois, is accused of telling Rep. Rodney Davis that he would like to shoot Davis' "head off."
An Illinois man has been charged by federal prosecutors with threatening to kill a Republican member of Congress after becoming incensed at a political ad.
Tarr, who the complaint said identified himself as a"sharpshooter" who had served in the military for eight years, faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted on charges of communication of a threat to injure a person and threatening a federal official, according to the affidavit. The affidavit contained a transcription of the expletive-laden voicemail, saying Tarr told Davis,"You're gonna go against our military and back the Russians?"
Ukraine has been at the center of talking points for President Donald Trump and his allies after House Democrats opened their impeachment inquiry into the president. Trump is accused of seeking to leverage a White House meeting and military aid to force Ukraine to announce two investigations that could benefit Trump politically.
