WI Congressman and Family Threatened

A letter threatening Western Wisconsin Congressman Derrick Van Orden and his family is found to be credible. 

In a Facebook post, the congressman says he and his wife were threatened, along with their children and grandchildren. As a result, Van Orden will miss votes tomorrow and reschedule a town hall meeting planned for today.  It’s unclear who sent the letter to the congressman’s D.C. office or what the threat was, but it has been reported to authorities.
