Texas man charged with threatening FBI agent involved in Hunter Biden investigation

A Texas man was charged Thursday with threatening a federal agent apparently involved with the Hunter Biden investigation and vowing that agents would be thrown in jail after a new president is elected.

Names are not spelled out in the criminal complaint, but the FBI agent who was threatened “was known to have been involved in an investigation into a laptop belonging to H.B.,” and the threatening call was made Tuesday after “H.B.” was convicted in connection with a 2018 gun purchase, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Texas said.

Timothy Muller, 43, was arrested Thursday morning outside his Fort Worth home and is charged with interstate threatening communications and influencing, impeding, or retaliating against a federal official, the U.S. attorney’s office said.

He called the FBI agent, whose name came out in media reports during Hunter Biden’s trial, which ended in a conviction, at 5:03 p.m. the day the verdict in Biden’s case was announced, prosecutors said.

“You can run, but you can’t [expletive] hide,” Muller said in a voicemail that also included allegations of child pornography and abuse, the prosecutor’s office said in a statement. The president’s son has never been charged with such crimes.

A jury in Delaware convicted Biden, the son of President Joe Biden, on three federal gun counts Tuesday related to his buying and owning a handgun when he was addicted to illegal drugs.
