Rhode Island man charged for allegedly threatening to kill Trump, other administration officials
A Rhode Island man faces serious charges after he allegedly threatened to kill President Donald Trump and multiple members of his administration on Truth Social. The Department of Justice (DOJ) said 37-year-old Carl D. Montague has been charged with threats against the president, interstate threats, threats to assault and kidnap, or murder of a U.S. official, judge or law enforcement officer. Montague is accused of writing a profanity-laced post on Truth Social on June 27, 2025, threatening to shoot and kill Trump, Attorney General Pam Bondi and White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller. The FBI wrote in a criminal complaint filed against Montague that it was notified by Trump Media and Technology, the parent company of Truth Social, about the post at 11:30 p.m. on June 27. The post read, "It's a shame you won't get to see the end of our f- - - - -g term, because I'm gonna make sure I put a bullet…between your f- - - - -g head you piece of s- -t, you Pam Bondi. Stephen f- - - - -g miller, all you b- - - - -s are gonna get a f- - - - -g bullet to the head every single f- - - - -g one of you." After receiving the information, the FBI launched an investigation that led agents to Montague. Once agents contacted Montague at his residence in Rhode Island, he allegedly confirmed he had made the post. The criminal complaint alleges that Montague said he was smoking a lot of marijuana when he posted the threat. It is also alleged he claimed to delete the Truth Social account after sending the message. Additionally, Montague reportedly said he was upset with the current politics and turned to Truth Social to express his frustrations. The complaint acknowledged that Montague said he did not have a specific reason to direct his threat toward Miller or Bondi, adding that he could not identify Bondi. Ultimately, Montague expressed remorse for his post, the complaint noted. The FBI said in the complaint that Montague does not own or have access to weapons, nor did he have plans, intentions or the means to travel to commit such violence. Still, the FBI found probable cause to charge Montague with threatening to harm the president and members of his administration. The investigation into the matter is ongoing.

Rhode Island man faces charges after threatening to kill Trump, Bondi and Stephen Miller on Truth Social
A Rhode Island man has been arrested after he threatened to shoot and kill President Donald Trump and other top officials in a profanity-laced Truth Social post. Federal authorities arrested Carl D. Montague, 37, on Wednesday after he posted a death threat against Trump, Attorney General Pam Bondi and White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller on Truth Social, the social media platform Trump owns, a federal complaint states. Trump Media and Technology, the social media platform's parent company, notified the U.S. Secret Service of a threat on June 27. Law enforcement traced Montague's online information to an apartment in Providence. By June 30, agents discovered Montague 'hiding in the bathtub' of another man's apartment. The 37-year-old then 'began confessing to making threats before agents were able to introduce themselves or explained why they were there.' He told law enforcement that he was 'smoking a lot of marijuana' when he posted the threat and claimed he deleted his Truth Social account after posting the message, according to the filing. He was 'upset with current politics and expressed his frustrations via Truth Social,' the complaint states. Montague mentioned that he didn't have 'a specific reason to direct his threat towards' Miller or Bondi, but had merely seen their names in other posts he was viewing at the time; he even said he couldn't identify the attorney general. Montague told agents he didn't intend to shoot or inflict any violence against government officials, adding that he doesn't own or have access to any weapons. He 'expressed remorse for his post,' the filing says. Authorities charged with conveying threats against the President, interstate threats, and making threats to assault and kidnap, or murder of a United States official, judge, or law enforcement officer. Montague's arrest comes two days after a Palm Beach woman approached the south gate of Mar-a-Lago just before 10 p.m. on Monday stating she had an 'urgent message for the President of the United States,' an affidavit states. The Palm Beach Police Department arrived at the residence after the Secret Service said it was investigating the woman, Caroline Shaw, as a "suspicious person,' the filing says. Shaw told officers that she had firearms inside her vehicle, which she drove to Mar-a-Lago despite having a suspended license, the affidavit states. Shaw was arrested and charged with driving with a suspended license and failing to register a vehicle. She has pleaded not guilty, records show. The judge set her bond at $2,000 and handed down a no-contact order with Trump. Shaw is prohibited from Mar-a-Lago, its adjacent properties, and 'any other Trump property,' the order states. Before returning to the White House, Trump faced two assassination attempts, including one at Butler, Pennsylvania where he was struck in the ear by a bullet just minutes into a campaign rally.
