United States Capitol Police (USCP) arrested a suspect yesterday on charges he allegedly posted private and identifying information on Wikipedia about a Republican senator, an act known as doxing. The incident occurred last Thursday, shortly after Christine Blasey Ford\u2019s testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee.<\/p>\n
USCP released the following statement:<\/p>\n
Today, the United States Capitol Police arrested the Suspect who allegedly posted private, identifying information (doxing) about one or more United States Senators to the internet.<\/p>\n
Jackson A. COSKO, age 27, of Washington, D.C., has initially been charged with 18 USC \u00a7 119 Making Public Restricted Personal Information; 18 USC \u00a7 1512(b)(3) (Witness Tampering); 18 USC \u00a7 875(d) (Threats in Interstate Communications); 18 USC \u00a71030(a)(3) (Unauthorized Access of a Government Computer); 18 USC \u00a7 1028(a)(7) (Identity Theft); DC Code \u00a7 22-801(b) (Second Degree Burglary), and DC Code \u00a722-3302 (b) (Unlawful Entry).<\/p>\n
The investigation will continue and additional charges may be forthcoming.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Cosko was recently an unpaid intern for Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX), according to Roll Call, which also reported:<\/p>\n
[Cosko] previously worked for Democratic Sens. Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire and California\u2019s Barbara Boxer, who has since retired. Cosko was most recently listed in the Senate directory phone book as Hassan\u2019s \u201clegislative correspondent\/systems administrator.\u201d His LinkedIn profile says he left Hassan\u2019s office in May 2018.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
This cowardly act is plainly intended to harass and intimidate the targeted Republican politician(s), and is especially dangerous considering the current poisoned political atmosphere in DC and elsewhere. Republican Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Orrin Hatch (R-UT), and Mike Lee (R-UT) had personal and identifying information posted on Wikipedia.<\/p>\n
Fox News reported that Cosko either worked or interned for Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and for retired Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) as well.<\/p>\n
