Man who allegedly harassed Katie Miller indicted for cyberstalking in Massachusetts

A Massachusetts man was indicted on Thursday for allegedly cyberstalking podcaster Katie Miller, who is married to White House deputy chief of staff for policy Stephen Miller, according to the Justice Department and sources familiar with the matter.The indictment charges John Anthony Proia III, 41, of Waltham, with cyberstalking a "former political advisor and prominent member of the Republican party" who is married to a "high-level federal government employee" with more than 40 calls and texts between August and September of this year, the Justice Department said.The indictment does not name the Millers, but sources familiar with the case confirmed to CBS News that they are the victims in the case.Katie Miller could not immediately be reached for comment.On X, she retweeted a post about the case by Attorney General Todd Blanche and wrote, "Thank you Todd Blanche, Leah Foley and the Washington Field Office."The indictment follows a dust-up at the Washington Field Office of the FBI, which was investigating the alleged threats.

Last week, two senior-level counterterrorism FBI agents were demoted from their positions, after the Millers complained that the FBI wasn't doing enough to investigate the harassment.The demotion was first reported by Bloomberg Law. Darren Cox, who leads the Washington Field Office, later issued a statement saying that he had made the personnel decision, and not FBI Director
