Teen killed parents in plot to assassinate Trump, ‘save white race': FBI
Nikita Casap, 17, was arrested last month after his mother, 35-year-old Tatiana Casap, and stepfather, 51-year-old Donald Mayer, were found dead inside their home in Waukesha, just east of Milwaukee.
He was charged with two counts of first-degree intentional homicide and other crimes, the Waukesha County Sheriff's Department announced on March 27.
This week, a search warrant filed with the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin was unsealed, painting a chilling picture of the teen's motivation behind his alleged crimes.
According to documents, investigators found materials on electronic devices used by the teen in which he appeared to share the views of a neo-Nazi group named 'The Order of Nine Angels' — which is described by investigators as 'a network of individuals holding new-Nazi, racially motivated, extremist views.'
Investigators also found documents that refer to a manifesto that calls for the 'assassination of the President of the United States in order to foment a political revolution in the United States and'save the white races' from 'Jewish controlled' politicians.''
The manifesto also contained images of Adolf Hitler and the text 'HITLER HAIL THE WHITE RACE HAIL VICTORY,' according to the unsealed documents.
Investigators believe Casap murdered his parents to 'obtain the financial means and autonomy necessary' to carry out his plan to kill the president and overthrow the government.
'As to why, specifically Trump, I think it's pretty obvious,' the manifesto reads. 'By getting rid of the president and perhaps the vice president, that is guaranteed to bring in some chaos.'
Casap is currently in custody on a $1 million bond, according to Milwaukee's ABC affiliate, WISN.
His next court appearance is scheduled for May 7, ABC News reported, citing the Waukesha County court docket.

Responding to Trump invasion comments, Taiwan says must rely on itself for security
TAIPEI (Reuters) -Taiwan must rely on itself for its security, the island's foreign ministry said on Tuesday, responding to U.S. President Donald Trump saying Chinese President Xi Jinping told him he would not invade the island while Trump was in office. Democratic Taiwan has over the past five years or so faced ramped up military and political pressure from China, which views the separately governed island as its "sacred" territory. Beijing has never renounced the use of force to bring Taiwan under its control. Asked about Trump's remarks, Taiwan Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hsiao Kuang-wei said the government closely monitored interactions between senior U.S. and Chinese officials. "Taiwan's security must be achieved through its own efforts, so our country has been dedicating itself to raising its self defence capabilities and resilience. Our country will keep working hard to do this," Hsiao told reporters in Taipei. The United States is Taiwan's most important international backer and arms supplier, although there are no formal diplomatic ties. There is also no defence treaty so should China attack Washington is under no obligation to help. The United States, which is however bound by law to provide Taiwan with the means to defend itself, has long stuck to a policy of "strategic ambiguity," not making clear whether it would respond militarily to a Chinese attack on Taiwan. Trump made the invasion comments in an interview with Fox News, ahead of talks in Alaska with Russian President Vladimir Putin over Moscow's war in Ukraine. On Monday, China's foreign ministry said Taiwan was an internal matter that was for the Chinese people to resolve. Taiwan's government vehemently opposes China's sovereignty claims.

Zelensky Undermines Trump Before Big Meeting Even Begins
Volodymyr Zelensky only waited a matter of minutes to publicly reject an overnight demand from Donald Trump before their White House meeting alongside European leaders on Monday. Trump used his Truth Social account to show his apparent stance going into the meeting, writing, 'President Zelensky of Ukraine can end the war with Russia almost immediately, if he wants to, or he can continue to fight.' Trump's post repeated the demands Russian President Vladimir Putin had put on ending the war, and which have been rejected previously. 'Remember how it started. No getting back Obama given Crimea (12 years ago, without a shot being fired!), and NO GOING INTO NATO BY UKRAINE,' Trump wrote. 'Some things never change!!!' The two are expected to see each other at 1:00 p.m. ET on Monday before entering the meeting at 1:15 p.m. ET. After inconclusive peace talks with Putin in Alaska, Trump called Zelensky on Saturday, with the Ukrainian president agreeing to the Monday meeting to 'discuss all of the details regarding ending the killing and the war.' During the call, Trump offered support for U.S. security assurance for Ukraine after the war, a shift from his stance that Europe should bear the burden of protecting the country, though the specifics were unclear. The last meeting at the White House saw Zelensky criticized for not wearing a suit before being berated by Trump and Vice President JD Vance. After landing in D.C. on Sunday, Zelensky took to his social media to post he was 'grateful' to Trump for the invitation and said, 'we all share a strong desire to end this war quickly and reliably.' The Ukrainian leader, however, then approached the issue of Crimea in his X post. The foundations of the current war began in 2014, when Russia invaded the Crimean Peninsula, which was part of Ukraine, and annexed it. In February 2022, Russia started the largest and deadliest war in Europe since World War II when it invaded Ukraine. 'Peace must be lasting,' Zelensky said in his post. 'Not like it was years ago, when Ukraine was forced to give up Crimea and part of our East—part of Donbas—and Putin simply used it as a springboard for a new attack.' He added, 'Of course, Crimea should not have been given up then, just as Ukrainians did not give up Kyiv, Odesa, or Kharkiv after 2022. Ukrainians are fighting for their land, for their independence. Now, our soldiers have successes in Donetsk and Sumy regions.' While Zelensky did not link the issue of Crimea to Trump's post, the president had posted his own message to Zelensky just 90 minutes earlier. Zelensky did address Trump directly at one point, however, writing, 'I am confident that we will defend Ukraine, effectively guarantee security, and that our people will always be grateful to President Trump, everyone in America, and every partner and ally for their support and invaluable assistance.' He also addressed Trump's messaging on the conflict between the countries, with the Ukrainian president stating, 'Russia must end this war, which it itself started. And I hope that our joint strength with America, with our European friends, will force Russia into a real peace.' Zelensky will be joined at the meeting by fellow European leaders U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Finnish President Alexander Stubb, and French President Emmanuel Macron. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen will also be present, confirming she was attending the meeting 'at the request of President Zelensky.' On Sunday, Trump posted that the White House had 'Never had so many European Leaders at one time' and that it was his 'great honor to host them!!!' The extra European support is said to be in aid of Zelensky after his last disastrous visit and Vance's Oval Office attack. When Trump mentioned a ceasefire, Zelensky said, 'We don't just need a ceasefire. We've done that before—Putin violated it 25 times, including during your presidency, Mr. President.' Vance pointed his finger at Zelensky during the meeting and said, 'Do you think that it's respectful to come to the Oval Office of the United States of America and attack the administration that is trying to prevent the destruction of your country?' Trump added, 'If you didn't have our military equipment, this war would've been over in two weeks! You have to be thankful, you don't have the cards.' Secretary of State Marco Rubio denied the European leaders are there for reinforcement. 'They're not coming here to keep Zelensky from getting bullied,' he told Margaret Brennan on CBS's Face the Nation. 'They are coming here tomorrow because we've been working with the Europeans. We invited them to come.'
