An Idaho man was indicted by a grand jury for threatening to kill President Trump, according to newly reported court documents.
Warren Jones Crazybull, 64, of Sandpoint, was detained on August 1 and indicted in federal court on August 20 after he made at least nine threatening phone calls on July 31 to the 45th president’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida.
Security at Trump’s residence received a call from Crazybull with the caller ID showing Warren Jones. The man made several threatening statements, including, “I am coming down to Bedminster tomorrow. I am going to down him personally and kill him,” according to court filings.
Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey, is one of Trump’s residences.
Mar-a-Lago security notified the Secret Service of eight more phone calls from Crazybull, according to NBC News. His identity was confirmed through phone records and voice comparisons between the phone call recordings and a video on his Facebook account.
Crazybull’s social media included threatening posts against President Trump, billionaire financier and convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, “John John Kennedy Jr,” and a “shadow government,” according to court documents.
Crazybull has pleaded not guilty to a charge of making threats against a former president. He will stand trial on October 28.
Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung slammed the Democrats in his response to the news of the threats.
“Kamala Harris and liberal Democrats are the ones who are deranged. There have been two heinous assassination attempts on President Trump, and their violent rhetoric are directly to blame,” Cheung said.
He then called for an apology from Harris and the Democrats for continuously referring to Trump as a “threat to democracy.”
“If the Democrats and Kamala Harris do not come out and apologize for their hateful rhetoric and tone down their attacks that have stoked the flames of violence, they are explicitly advocating for and inciting more bloodshed against President Trump,” Cheung stated.
While Harris and other Democrats have condemned all political violence, they have not stopped the rhetoric and falsehoods that Cheung and others believe to be the root cause of the increase in political violence.
CNN recently fact-checked Harris’ campaign social media account, KamalaHQ, for consistently posting “misleading edits and captions” about Trump.
