(CNN) Frank Caporusso, a Long Island man who left a threatening voicemail last year for the judge presiding over the Michael Flynn case, was sentenced Monday to 18 months in prison.
Caporusso was arrested last August and reached a deal with the government in April in which he pleaded guilty to one count of Influencing, Impeding, or Retaliating Against a Federal Official by Threat.
The sentence was handed down by US District Judge Trevor McFadden, a Donald Trump appointee and colleague of the judge that was threatened, at the federal courthouse in Washington.
McFadden said the threatening message was "nothing less than an attack on our system of government."
