/ American authorities arrested a man from Michigan who directed a death threat to US President Joe Biden and his vice president, Kamala Harris, through several posts on the X platform.
The man, identified as Russell Douglas Warren (48 years old), appeared in federal court in Bay City, Michigan, and was ordered temporarily detained, a spokesman for the US Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Michigan told Axios.
Authorities became aware of several threatening statements on Sunday that were posted on the x platform, including “related to the murder 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 made the posts.
Warren allegedly said in his posts that Biden and Harris were “convicted” and should be taken to prison to be executed by hanging.
He is also accused of writing that the FBI headquarters would be bombed and all employees killed, along with all US Secret Service agents.
In addition, he allegedly wrote that Washington, D.C., should be evacuated because “we’re going to drop a bomb on it.”
