A Man Pleads Guilty to Making Threats Against Nancy Pelosi
A man who officials say traveled to Washington, D.C., on Jan. 6 and threatened to shoot Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) in the head on live television pleaded guilty Friday.
Cleveland Meredith Jr., 53, pleaded guilty to one count of interstate communication of threats because of a text message he sent to a relative on Jan. 7.
“Thinking about heading over to Pelosi … speech and putting a bullet in her noggin on Live TV,” it read, according to authorities, followed by a purple devil emoji.
