A federal magistrate is sending 38-year-old Norman Leboon to a prison hospital in North Carolina for psychiatric testing.
Authorities say he made a video last month threatening Rep. Eric Cantor of Virginia, the No. 2 House Republican. They say Leboon believes he is the son of God.
Public defender Kai Scott did not challenge the preliminary incompetency finding at a hearing Tuesday. The judge says Leboon could later be found competent to stand trial.
Authorities have not linked the video threat to a bullet recently fired through Cantor's campaign office in Richmond. Police have determined that was a random act.
