Jackson A. Cosko, former Democratic staffer, pleads guilty to 'doxing' Republican senators.
A former Democratic congressional staffer pleaded guilty Friday to federal charges related to his leaking personal information about Republican senators and threatening a witness who caught him in the act.
Jackson A. Cosko, 27, of D.C., copped to five offenses, including computer fraud, making public restricted personal information, witness tampering and obstruction of justice.
Cosko had been working for Rep. Shelia Jackson Lee, Texas Democrat, at the time of the incident.
A Hassan staffer confronted Cosko and ordered him to leave.
Cosko sent the staffer threatening emails within minutes of the dispute, warning he would release embarrassing information in retaliation, according to a police affidavit.
"If you tell anyone I will leak it all. Emails signal conversations gmails. Senators children's health information and socials," Cosko wrote, according to court records.
