Man arrested for threatening FBI agent in Hunter Biden laptop investigation

A Texas man was arrested for threatening an FBI agent involved with the investigation into Hunter Biden’s laptop, federal prosecutors announced Thursday.

Timothy Muller allegedly called and harassed the agent shortly after Biden was convicted of three felony counts related to illegally purchasing a firearm this week.

Prosecutors said Muller told the agent “You can run, but you can’t [expletive] hide,” on the phone, The Associated Press reported.

He continued, arguing former President Donald Trump would win reelection, “and then we’re gonna [expletive] go through the FBI and just start throwing you [expletive] into jail. Or, you can steal another election, and then the guns will come out, and we’ll hunt you [expletive] down and slaughter you like the traitorous dogs you are in your own [expletive] homes.”

After the phone call, he also sent threatening texts to the agent, including “How’s the family? Safe?” and “Did you [expletive] really think you were going to disenfranchise 75 million Americans and not die? Lol.”

Muller was charged with sending threats and retaliating against a federal official, charges which could carry up to 10 years in prison.

The laptop at the center of the agent’s investigation contained some of Biden’s personal information, which was seized on by Republicans as a campaign issue after it was disseminated to the public.

A computer repair shop owner said Hunter Biden dropped the laptop off at his store in April 2019 and never returned to pick it up. The owner later admitted in his 2022 book to reviewing private and sensitive material from Biden’s laptop, before contacting Republicans to review and share the material.
