COLUMBIA — Federal authorities have charged a South Carolina man with threatening a former assistant U.S. attorney who prosecuted members of the Proud Boys white nationalist group.
James Giannakos Jr. of Gilbert left a series of voicemails last month threatening that the former prosecutor, her family and her co-workers would be in “danger” if anything happened to Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio, according to court documents filed Feb. 2.
The unemployed Lexington County man blamed the unnamed, Miami-based former prosecutor for leaking to the press that
Tarrio was an FBI informant, transcripts of his voicemails show.
“
I just wanted you to know that if anything happens to Mr. Enrique Tarrio, the same thing will happen to you and your family,” Giannakos said in one of the voice messages, according to an FBI agent’s sworn affidavit.
