A Pennsylvania man has been arrested and charged with threatening to assault and assassinate President Donald Trump and other U.S. officials, federal prosecutors announced on April 11.

Shawn Monper, of Butler, Pennsylvania, was taken into custody on April 9 following an FBI investigation into a series of online threats he allegedly made under the alias “Mr Satan.” The threats—posted on YouTube between mid-January and early April—targeted Trump, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, and multiple federal officials, according to the criminal complaint.
