/ The US authorities arrested a man from Michigan who made death threats to US President Joe Biden and his Vice President Kamala Harris in several posts on the X platform.
The man, Russell Douglas Warren, 48, appeared in federal court in Bay City, Michigan, and was ordered held temporarily, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Michigan told Axios.
Authorities became aware of several threatening statements on Sunday posted on the X platform, including “related to the killing of the President of the United States, law enforcement agents, and the bombing of U.S. government buildings,” according to the criminal complaint. They concluded that Warren was the person who posted the posts.
Warren allegedly said in his posts that Biden and Harris were “convicted” and should be taken to prison to be hanged.
He is also accused of writing that the FBI headquarters would be bombed and all employees killed, along with all US Secret Service agents.
Additionally, he allegedly wrote that Washington, D.C., should be evacuated because “we are going to drop a bomb on it.”
