Federal prosecutors have charged a Michigan man with threatening President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.
Russell Douglas Warren, 48, of Prudenville was charged Sunday in the Eastern District of Michigan, the Detroit News reported. His attorney, listed in online court records as federal community defender Bryan Sherer, didn’t immediately return a message on Monday afternoon.
Prosecutors allege that FBI and U.S. Secret Service agents learned that Warren posted a series of messages last week on X, the social media platform formerly know as Twitter, saying that Biden and Harris had been condemned and should be taken to prison and executed by hanging.
Prudenville??? that’s a tiny little blip on the map I never thought I’d see in the news. Forty-odd years ago I used to go there for ice cream, mini golf, and deer spotting out on lumber/oil trails (entertainment options were very limited in the 70’s and my grandpa was a big deer hunter, so we’d go drive around the jankiest two-track trails and try to find deer chilling). It totally tracks that it would be Trump country.
