Federal agents have arrested and charged a Washington man for threatening the life of Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.
Eric Kikkert appeared Friday afternoon in Seattle before U.S. Magistrate Judge S. Kate Vaughan, who ordered him held pending a preliminary hearing April 15 before Magistrate Judge Michelle Peterson.
A six-page complaint filed Friday and signed by FBI Special Agent Caryn Highley of the Seattle FBI Office alleges Kikkert, a military veteran, sent threatening, “nonsensical” emails to the U.S. Capitol and traveled to Washington, D.C., on March 10, where he was questioned at a hotel by agents of the U.S. Secret Service.
