A Rhode Island man who federal authorities say threatened to assassinate President Donald J. Trump and two senior members of his administration has been indicted by a grand jury but continues to walk free under court-ordered monitoring, despite his violent history and repeated warnings from prosecutors.
Carl D. Montague, 37, of Providence, faces federal charges of making threats against the president and interstate communications of threats. The indictment stems from a June 27 rant on Truth Social, in which Montague allegedly vowed to shoot and kill the president, former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, and White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, Breitbart News reported.
According to an FBI affidavit, Trump Media and Technology Group, which operates Truth Social, flagged the posting and alerted the U.S. Secret Service. Investigators said the account, using the handle “@tacoustic,” was traced directly to Montague.
