Richard Rogers, a Montana man, was convicted of threatening former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy over a Chinese spy balloon incident. He faces up to six years in prison and a hefty fine. Rogers argued his calls were a form of civil disobedience, protected by the First Amendment. Prosecutors contended that his actions crossed a line into illegal harassment. Threats against public officials are on the rise, with Rogers' case being one of many investigated by authorities. Rogers displayed dissatisfaction with his defense attorneys and wore pro-Trump shirts during the trial.
