Man charged with threatening Fauci, NIH director
By Mychael Schnell - 07/28/21 08:29 AM EDT


A man has been charged with threatening Dr. Anthony Fauci, President Biden’s chief medical adviser, and Dr. Francis Collins, the director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

Thomas Patrick Connally, Jr., 56, was charged on Tuesday with threats against a federal official and interstate communication containing a threat to harm after uncovered emails showed him vowing to kill the federal officials and their families, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Maryland.

Connally allegedly threatened to harm and/or kill Fauci, Collins and members of their families in emails that were sent by an account from a secure, encrypted email services provider based in Switzerland. The threats occurred from Dec. 28, 2020 until July 21, 2021, authorities said.

In one email, Connally said that Fauci, who also serves as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and his family would be “dragged into the street, beaten to death, and set on fire,” according to the U.S. attorney’s office, citing the affidavit filed in support of the criminal case.
