GREENBELT, Md. (AP) — A federal magistrate judge may decide Tuesday whether to order the release of a Coast Guard lieutenant accused of stockpiling weapons and drafting a hit list of prominent Democrats and network TV journalists.
Prosecutors have portrayed 50-year-old Christopher Hasson as a domestic terrorist and a racist extremist intent on carrying out a killing spree. Hasson's attorney says prosecutors haven't filed terrorism-related charges because they haven't found any evidence to back up those allegations.
Federal prosecutors oppose Hasson's release under any conditions and plan to appeal if Day does order him freed. An appeal could keep Hasson detained pending a district court judge's review of the matter. Prosecutors said Hasson compiled what appeared to be a computer-spreadsheet hit list that included Democratic presidential hopefuls Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand, Elizabeth Warren, Cory Booker and Kamala Harris. Also mentioned were such figures as MSNBC's Chris Hayes and Joe Scarborough and CNN's Chris Cuomo and Van Jones.
Windom said none of those custodian options are viable or meet what Day said was the goal of ensuring that someone has"eyes and ears" on Hasson"like nobody's business." Oyer has said her client hadn't made any direct or specific threats to harm anyone. Prosecutors are seeking to punish Hasson for"private thoughts" that he never shared, she said.
