A former Democratic Senate staffer admits trying to threaten and intimidate several Republican Senators and their families by posting their home addresses and phone numbers online.
It’s a practice known as “doxing.”
Personal information belonging to Republicans Lindsey Graham, Orrin Hatch and Mike Lee was posted on Wikipedia and Twitter at the same time the three were taking part in a contentious hearing last September for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
Two other GOP senators were targeted a few days later in the same way.
Jackson Cosko, 27, of D.C. pleaded guilty to five federal offenses: two counts of making public restricted personal information, one count of computer fraud, one count of witness tampering and one count of obstruction of justice.
