Thomas Eugene Streavel, 73, from Yucca Valley, pleaded not guilty to making threats against then-President-elect Donald Trump through Facebook posts. Authorities claim he openly identified himself as an "assassin" and threatened to shoot Trump shortly after the election. The threats, part of a grand jury indictment, include a post stating Trump is a "dead man walking." Streavel was arrested by U.S. Marshals and could face up to 15 years in prison if convicted. He remains out on a $10,000 bond until his next court appearance.
This defendant is charged with threatening the life of our President - a man who has already survived two deranged attempts on his life, said U.S. Atty. Gen. Pam Bondi in a statement. The Department of Justice takes these threats with the utmost seriousness and will prosecute this crime to the fullest extent of the law.
On Nov. 6, Streavel posted that Trump is a dead man walking for the time being until a patriot like myself blows his [expletive] brains out in the very near future.
