Even fam scared of man busted in threats vs. Dems

A New York State courts employee jailed on charges of threatening elected Democratic politicians has a history of violent outbursts with people close to him, according to the feds and his own family.

Brendan Hunt, 37 — a former Occupy Wall Street activist turned Trump supporter — was arrested in January after he made online threats that included calling for then-president Donald Trump to publicly execute Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer and telling Trump supporters to return to the Capitol to “slaughter” Democrats at Joe Biden’s inauguration, the feds say.

Hunt went beyond his threats to violence that included physical altercations with his parents, threats against other relatives, and cursing at guards in the Brooklyn jail where he’s housed awaiting trial, say prosecutors.

After his arrest, Hunt was suspended without pay from his job as an assistant court analyst for the Office of Court Administration. His father, Jonathan Hunt, is a former Queens Family Court judge.

Disputes within his family led his parents about a decade ago to call the cops twice, his father said.

“There was physical contact. No one was hurt,” said John Hunt.

“I was concerned about the anger he [Brendan] was expressing. It wasn’t that I was physically afraid of him. It was just a very, very difficult situation,” Jonathan Hunt said, adding that there was “pushing and shoving” between Brendan and his mom.

The revelations about Brendan Hunt’s years-old fights with his own family came as he and his defense team argued he should be released on bond before his trial in April.

But federal prosecutors argued that other texts and incidents merit Hunt’s continued detention.

Hunt got into a dispute with a relative after that person unfriended him on Facebook months before his arrest in 2020, prosecutors said.

“If you text me again, I’ll stick a knife in your kid,” Hunt texted the person, ending the fight.
