WASHINGTON (AFP) — A United States man posting content online as “Mr. Satan” has been charged with threatening to assassinate President Donald Trump and other government officials, the Department of Justice (DoJ) announced Friday.
Shawn Monper, 32, was detained and charged in a federal criminal complaint with “making threats to assault and murder” Trump and other US officials, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.
In a statement, the DoJ said the Federal Bureau of Investigation received an emergency message about threats posted on YouTube by a user who identified himself as “Mr. Satan,” whose internet activity was determined to correspond with Monper’s residence.
Monper is coincidentally from Butler, Pennsylvania where Trump was nearly assassinated during a campaign rally in July.
Shortly after Trump’s inauguration in January, Monper obtained a firearms permit and commented from his account that he had “bought several guns and been stocking up on ammo since Trump got in office,” the DoJ said.
