BALTIMORE (AP) â A Maryland man has pleaded guilty to lying to U.S. Capitol Police about death threats sent to a congressman.
The Washington Post reports that Sidhartha Kumar Mathur, 35, of West Friendship pleaded guilty Thursday to making false statements to federal agents investigating the threats and admitted making threats by phone and through the congressmanâs website.
According to Mathurâs guilty plea, in December he sent a threatening message through the website and included a former classmateâs contact information. âI will kill you and blow up your office if you try to take my vote awayâ and âI know where you and your family lives,â Mathur wrote. Mathur then left a voicemail at the congressmanâs office with similar threats, according to court records show.
