An Alaska man faces federal charges after authorities allege he threatened to hire an assassin to kill U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, according to court documents unsealed Wednesday.

In a separate threat left in a voice message at Murkowski’s Washington, D.C., office, the caller asked if the Alaska Republican knew what a .50 caliber shell does to a human head, according to court records unsealed Wednesday.

Jay Allen Johnson, 65, of Delta Junction, was scheduled to make his first appearance in U.S. District Court in Fairbanks on Wednesday over allegedly making threats against two senators but the hearing was continued until Friday, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said.

The two senators were not named by the U.S. Attorney’s Office or in an affidavit outlining the investigation filed by Matthew Patrick Allen Oudbier, an FBI special agent assigned to the Anchorage office.

However, Karina Borger, a spokesperson for U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, confirmed in an email to The Associated Press that the Alaska Republican was one of the targets and was listed in the affidavit as “Senator 1.”

1. We are growing far too many sick bastards lately, and I'm certain Trump is not the cause, but...

only one more nasty symptom.

3. It does feel only a matter of time before one of them succeeds.

2. These threats should be viewed and prosecuted as the threat to democracy that they represent.

With his fellow thugs he really is a dire threat to our society. It’s my hope that he has a long life in prison.
