The FBI arrested an Ohio man after he allegedly made explicit threats against a Jewish Republican congressman and President Donald Trump. 

Alex Justin Miller, 26, is accused of sending threatening messages to Rep. Randy Fine, R-Fla., and his family, according to the Department of Justice. The message called Fine and his family "Nazi f--ks" and said he'd burn their house down, and he said he wouldn't "stop until your head is hanging from the rooftops of the White House," Fox News reported

The message, which was sent via email on the morning of primary Election Day in Florida, was signed, "DEATH TO RANDY FINE AND DEATH TO DONALD TRUMP!!" 

Miller was charged with interstate transmission of a threat to injure and faces up to five years in prison if convicted, the DOJ said.
