Idaho man charged with threatening to kill Trump: 'I am going to down him personally and kill him'

An Idaho man has been charged with threatening to kill Donald Trump during phone calls to the Mar-a-Lago resort in West Palm Beach, Florida. The charges against the Idaho man come as there have now been two assassination attempts on the GOP nominee's life in the past few months.

Warren Jones Crazybull, 64, of Sandpoint, Idaho, allegedly made nine phone calls with threats to Trump's home on July 31, just a couple weeks after the first assassination attempt on Trump took place in Butler, Pennsylvania, per Forbes. According to a criminal complaint reviewed by the outlet, Crazybull said he would "find Trump," adding, "I am coming down to Bedminster tomorrow. I am going to down him personally and kill him."



A Facebook page that is believed to belong to Crazybull contained more threats against the GOP nominee, according to a Secret Service (USSS) affidavit. “I start driving to the home of this multi person rapist PIG TRUMP to take him down single combat," Crazybull wrote in one post. The posts also referenced Jeffrey Epstein and John F. Kennedy, as well as a "shadow government."

Crazybull was detained on August 1 and then indicted on August 20 in a federal court in Idaho. He has pleaded not guilty to one count of making threats against a former president. His trial is scheduled for Oct. 28.

According to a copy of the court document posted online by News Nation reporter Libbey Dean, Crazybull has "several aliases," and he claimed that Trump had "violated treaties, and thereby deprived Crazybull of his land."

Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung said 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 called on Harris and other Democrats to apologize over their rhetoric about Trump, whom they have consistently labeled 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 added.

The report on the threats were revealed just a little over a week after Trump was targeted for a second assassination attempt by Ryan Routh at the GOP nominee's golf course in Florida when Trump was playing a round of golf. Routh reportedly laid in wait for around 12 hours to target Trump on the course and had an AK-47-style weapon with him before being arrested.
