Trump's Truth Social tipped FBI to man killed during arrest attempt for Biden threats

The FBI fatally shot Craig Deleeuw Robertson in Provo, Utah, while trying to arrest him for making threats to President Joe Biden and Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg.

The social media company owned by former President Donald Trump in March tipped off the FBI about threats made by a Utah man who was fatally shot Wednesday by FBI agents as they attempted to arrest him for threatening to kill President Joe Biden, NBC News reported.

  It’s a bit of a parody, but it is indeed a real website that has caught several would-be murderers
