US: Tee::nager Arrest:ed for Plo:tting to Assassinate Pr:esi:dent Trump

During an investigation into a murder case in Wisconsin, the FBI uncovered a plot to assassinate President Donald Trump and commit acts of terrorism against the government.

ABC News reported that police arrested 17-year-old Nikita Casap on suspicion of shooting his mother and stepfather, plotting to assassinate President Donald Trump, fleeing the country, and attempting to blame Russia for the crime.

Nikita Casap was charged with first-degree murder in March after police discovered the bodies of his mother and stepfather, both shot in the head, in their home in Waukesha. Casap was arrested in Kansas after fleeing in a stolen vehicle, carrying $14,000 in cash, a passport, and the family dog. Police also seized an unloaded handgun, several boxes of ammunition, and two cell phones during a roadside stop.



"Documents show that Casap apparently wrote a manifesto calling for the assassination of the U.S. President. He also contacted other individuals to discuss plans to assassinate the president and overthrow the U.S. government," according to the search warrant released on April 11.

"The crime of killing his parents appears to have been part of an effort to obtain the money and freedom necessary to carry out his plan," the document added.

The FBI alleges that Casap spent money – at least in part – to purchase drones and explosives, with the intention of using them as weapons of mass destruction. According to the documents, these devices were used to support a pre-planned attack.

During the investigation, the FBI discovered documents and messages on the suspect's phone related to a network of individuals with extremist racial views influenced by neo-Nazis called the Nine Angels. According to court records, the suspect's phone contained images and messages calling for the assassination of U.S. President Donald Trump, bomb making, and terrorist attacks.

Casap's phone also contained conversations with a user using a Ukrainian phone number, seemingly discussing plans to flee to Ukraine after the attack.

FBI agents found screenshots of a three-page document titled "Promoting Collapse," created on February 28th. This manifesto called for political violence—including the assassination of the President—to incite social unrest and protect the white race.

Casap is currently being held on $1 million bail, facing two charges of premeditated first-degree murder, along with seven other criminal charges – including concealing a body and identity theft. Casap is scheduled to appear in court again on May 7th.
