Kavanaugh threat: New York Times skips indictment of suspect as media continues shrugging at story

The New York Times' relatively muted coverage of the threat to Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh is "inexpliclable," a writer tells Fox News Digital.

A federal grand jury indicted Roske on a charge of attempting to assassinate a U.S. judge on Wednesday. He arrived at Kavanaugh's home in Chevy Chase, Md., in the early morning hours of June 8, armed with a gun, ammo, zip ties, knife and pepper spray, with designs on assassinating the conservative justice and then killing himself. He told authorities he was motivated in part by Kavanaugh's potentially consequential leanings on abortion and gun control, two of the most pressing issues before the Supreme Court.

The indictment shed light on how heavily armed the would-be assailant was; he texted his sister after seeing marshals outside Kavanaugh's home, who helped convince him to dial 911, where he told the dispatcher he was in mental distress and confessed his aborted plot.
