An Alaska man who called two GOP senators and left threatening voice messages was sentenced on Friday to 32 months in prison.
Jay Allen Johnson, 65, received the sentence after he pleaded guilty to two counts of threatening to kill GOP Sens. Dan Sullivan and Lisa Murkowski, who both represent Alaska, according to a release from the Justice Department.
Johnson left 17 voicemails over the course of a five-month period, the release said, intended as a way to “retaliate against them for performing their official duties.”
