A man in Nevada has been charged with making a death threat against the prosecutor who secured Donald Trump’s criminal conviction in New York and the judge who oversaw the trial, according to court records and a person familiar with the case.

Spencer Gear, 32, was charged in Nevada federal court on 16 July with 22 counts of making threats to kill or injure federal and state officials, including making a call threatening to kill two individuals in New York referred to as “AB” and “JM”.

The indictment, handed down by a grand jury, does not name the targets, but a person familiar with the case told Reuters that the initials referred to the Manhattan district attorney, Alvin Bragg, and Justice Juan Merchan.

The justice department has alleged that Gear intended to “impede, intimidate and interfere with the officials while engaged in the performance of official duties” and that he intended to “retaliate against the officials on account of the performance of official duties”.

Oh boy. This guy's about to find out that there are two justice systems. He's about to find out him and Donnie aren't in the same club.
