Robert Barnes, the lawyer for the Covington Catholic High School students who were the focus of a recent slew of false reporting, received a bomb threat after he warned media and celebrities that they may be the targets of a libel suit if they didn’t retract or correct false statements about the students within 48 hours.

The threat was sent via email through the contact form on the website of Barnes’ law firm on the morning of Jan. 23.
