A Montana man has pleaded not guilty to federal charges that he threatened to assault and murder former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy
A Montana man pleaded not guilty Tuesday to federal charges that he threatened to assault and murder former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. Richard Lee Rogers of Yellowstone County in southern Montana entered the plea during an initial appearance before U.S. Magistrate Judge Timothy Cavan in federal court in Billings. Rogers is charged with threats to injure and murder a member of Congress, which carries a 10-year prison sentence and $250,000 fine.
3, several weeks after Republicans elected McCarthy to his short-lived tenure as speaker —which was characterized by frequent clashes with hard-right members of his own party. A grand jury indictment filed last month said the threats were intended as retaliation for McCarthy's actions as House speaker but did not provide details. The indictment said Rogers made repeated interstate phone calls “solely to harass a person” but did not name the person.
