Michigan man accused of threatening to kill FBI Director Kash Patel faces federal charges

A 42-year-old man from Michigan has been charged with making threats toward FBI Director Kash Patel.

Anthony Daniel Palazzolo of Chesterfield Township, Michigan, was taken into custody on Friday after reportedly threatening to kill Patel and an unnamed second person.

A detention hearing will be held on Monday.
