Arrested White Supremacist Threatens Jurors and Witnesses in Pittsburgh Synagogue Trial

A West Virginia man, Hardy Carroll Lloyd, has been arrested and charged with obstruction of justice, transmitting threats, and witness tampering for engaging in threatening conduct towards jurors and government witnesses in the federal trial against the Pittsburgh synagogue shooter. Prosecutors described Lloyd as a self-proclaimed "reverend" of a White supremacy movement. He is accused of making threatening social media posts, online comments, and emails towards the jurors and witnesses in the trial. Lloyd's emails and online posts allegedly encouraged attacks similar to the 2018 shooting and expressed support for the gunman.
