U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced the arrest Thursday of a man accused of sending a threatening letter to conservative podcaster Benny Johnson.

Bondi held a news conference in Tampa, Florida, with Johnson and his wife at her side to announce the arrest.

"The author of this letter made it very clear that he hated Benny because of his views and he wanted Benny dead," Bondi said.

Johnson described the graphic threat and claims the letter said he was targeted because he was "a white, CIS, Christian Trump supporter."
