Scoop: Security upped for Rep. Jamie Raskin after alleged incident involving Jan. 6 defendent
"Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said Monday that his offices in New York received multiple bomb threats via emails with the subject line "MAGA." A group of House and Senate Democrats who urged military service members to defy illegal orders have also reported a spike in threats since President Trump appeared to call for their executions. Driving the news: Taylor Taranto was spotted by local police near Raskin's home in Takoma Park, Md., on Monday night,"
"Taranto, a Washington state resident, was "living out of his van" while in D.C. and streaming on Rumble as a self-described "independent journalist investigating major crimes," Stallman said. Raskin informed his colleagues of the alleged incident the following day, according to a House Democrat familiar with the matter."
"He had his security temporarily increased soon after and was escorted home from votes by the Capitol Police on Wednesday as part of his heightened protection. The other side: Taranto's lawyer, Carmen Hernandez, told the court he disputes the alleged parole violations that prompted the court hearing. She told Axios that she specifically disputes that he was outside Raskin's home, but declined to offer further details. Taranto himself declined to comment on the allegations."
