New York Man Arrested & Charged For Threatening To Kill Ex President Trump
Man Arrested And Charged For Threatening To Kill Former President Trump
A man from Queens was arrested for making numerous threats to kill former President Donald Trump.
According to The Hill citing a court document that was unsealed on Monday, Thomas Welnick of Rockaway Beach told Capitol Police during a phone call around July 21, 2020, that if Trump lost the presidential election that November and “refused to step down,” he would “acquire weapons” and “take him down.”
Welnick reportedly also bragged to Capitol Police about how easy it was for him to get a firearm, adding, “I don’t want to hurt anyone, but I will stand up to fascism.”

Although the document does not name Trump directly, it noted that “individual-1” served as the U.S. president from Jan. 20, 2017, until Jan. 20. 2021. According to Reuters, an arrest warrant was issued for Welnicki on Friday.
As the Hill notes, the court document does provide additional details about the interview with Capitol Police, only noting that it was voluntary.
The criminal complaint references five other days when Welnick contacted authorities regarding Donald Trump.
