Anti-Abortion Assassin Wore Creepy Latex Mask to Murder Dem

Yahoo6 hours ago

The FBI has released new images of Vance Boelter, the man suspected of killing a Minnesota lawmaker and her husband and shooting another, that show the mask he used as part of his ruse.
Authorities had previously revealed that Boelter impersonated a police officer during his spree, but new images shared by the FBI on Boelter's wanted poster show that he also wore a latex mask. The images appear to be taken from doorbell or security camera footage.
A manhunt is currently underway for Boelter, who is suspected of killing Minnesota State Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband. He is also believed to have shot State Senator John Hoffman and his wife. Boelter fled on foot following a shootout with police at the Hortman home.
In his abandoned vehicle, authorities found a list of nearly 70 potential targets, including Governor Tim Walz and Rep. Ilhan Omar, as well as abortion providers and advocates. Like Walz and Ohmar, both Hortman and Hoffman are Democrats.
Boelter most recently worked as a director of security patrols for Praetorian Guard Security Services, a company that offers 'residential security patrols' by armed and uniformed guards.
Boelter's bio on the company's website states that he has been involved in 'security situations' across the world, including in the West Bank, Southern Lebanon, and Gaza. The 57-year-old's bio also states that, 'He brings a great security aspect forged by both many on-the-ground experiences combined with training by both private security firms and by people in the U.S. military.'
In 2019, Boelter was appointed to Minnesota's Governor's Workforce Development Board, which advises the governor on the state's workforce, by Walz.
The FBI is offering a reward of up to $50,000 for information that could lead to Boelter's arrest and conviction.

Trump Org Announces ‘Trump Mobile' Cell Phone Service—Latest Bid To Cash In On Presidency

The Trump Organization announced Monday its latest venture – a cell phone service and smartphone line– with clear branding tied to President Donald Trump, the latest example of blurred lines between Trump's Oval Office position and his family's private business dealings. The service said its monthly plan will start at $47.45 per month, a nod to Trump's standing as the ... More 45th and 47th U.S. president. Trump's eldest sons Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump unveiled the 'Trump Mobile' entity, which will have a monthly talk, text and data plan and its own phone. Called the '47 plan,' the monthly mobile service will start at $47.45 before taxes and fees, a reference to Trump being the U.S.' 45th and 47th president, according to the Trump Mobile website. The company said its signature 'T1 Phone' will start at $499, and the website's mockup of the device 'coming soon' shows an etched American flag on the back of the phone. The 'Trump Mobile' phone will run on Google's Android operating system and will be built in the U.S., according to Eric Trump. The 'Trump Mobile' announcement comes less than a month after the president threatened to slap 25% tariffs on iPhone maker Apple and other smartphone giants for not producing their phones domestically. Donald Trump maintains 'significant control' over the Trump Organization, according to a recent U.K. filing. Since Trump won a second presidential term in November, much of the Trump family's business dealings with hazy boundaries between the public and private sectors have been in the cryptocurrency space, including launching a $TRUMP memecoin which netted top investors in the inherently worthless token a dinner with the president at his Virginia golf club. The Trump Organization has also announced several massive overseas deals in recent months, including a $1.5 billion golf club in Vietnam. Trump is worth $5.3 billion, according to our latest estimates. A majority of his wealth comes from his controlling stake in the public Trump Media & Technology Group, which trades under the ticker $DJT, the president's initials. Originally the parent company of Trump's Truth Social social media site, Trump Media has since expanded heavily into crypto, saying last month it raised $2.5 billion to purchase bitcoin, the world's most valuable crypto token. Shares of AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon all declined Monday morning despite a broader rally. Trump Media stock rose 2%.
