An NPR reporter says former Rep. George Santos threatened him during a heated phone call that included the phrase “a gun in your face.” NPR correspondent Bobby Allyn made the allegation Thursday, describing the call as angry and intense. Allyn said the comments came shortly after he published a report about the Department of Justice investigating Santos for possible actions under federal law.

The reports also do not describe the full context of the phone call beyond characterizing it as heated, nor do they provide additional corroboration in the excerpts. The DOJ investigation referenced by Allyn is presented in the reporting as the backdrop to the dispute.
