Nassau County police on Thursday have responded to a bomb threat at the home of Judge Arthur Engoron, the judge presiding over former President Donald Trump’s civil fraud case, a source with direct knowledge of the situation told NBC News.

The threat comes hours before closing arguments in the trial are scheduled to begin, with those arguments still expected to proceed.

A bomb squad was called to Engoron’s home and was investigating Thursday morning; it is unclear whether Engoron was home at the time.

    It’s only a matter of time before one of these fucks actually does something.

    Edit: They’ve already done plenty… I don’t know why I worded my original comment like that. I guess I’m just waiting for someone to do something that even the most head-in-the-sand people can’t ignore, as if J6 wasn’t enough.

      They already have been. For years. Shooting up churches, destroying power grid infrastructure, etc.

      It’s just their violence largely affects brown people and that doesn’t fly in the media.

      What makes you think they haven’t? Remember 1/6? The MAGAbomber? Proud Boys picking fights in the streets? Hundreds of domestic terrorism events?
