A Fort Worth man has been charged with allegedly making threats against an FBI special agent involved in an investigation related to Hunter Biden’s laptop, federal prosecutors announced on Thursday.
Timothy Muller reportedly called the FBI agent shortly after a federal jury in Delaware convicted Hunter Biden of three felonies in a gun trial. According to prosecutors, Muller threatened the agent and his family during a voicemail that lasted over a minute after the agent hung up on him.
“You can run, but you can’t (expletive) hide,” Muller allegedly said to the agent. He continued with threats that if former President Donald Trump won reelection, the FBI agents involved would be jailed. Muller also mentioned a scenario where guns would come into play if another election was allegedly stolen.
Following the voicemail, Muller sent several text messages to the agent, including inquiries about the safety of the agent’s family. His messages also contained ominous statements regarding the consequences faced by those involved in disenfranchising Americans.
The name of the special agent has not been disclosed.
Timothy Muller, 43, from Fort Worth, Texas, faces charges of interstate threatening communications and influencing, impeding, or retaliating against a federal official. If convicted, he could be sentenced to up to 10 years in prison. As of Thursday, Muller’s federal public defender had not responded to requests for comment.
The controversy surrounding Hunter Biden’s laptop began in October 2020 with a New York Post article detailing emails allegedly found on the device related to Hunter Biden’s foreign business activities. This issue became a focal point of the 2020 presidential campaign, championed by then-President Donald Trump.
The owner of the Wilmington, Delaware computer repair shop where Hunter Biden allegedly dropped off the laptop in April 2019, John Paul Mac Isaac, acknowledged reviewing private and sensitive materials from the laptop, including documents titled “income.pdf.” Isaac later engaged with Republicans to review and disseminate the materials.
