The man, watched for months by the American authorities, was killed Wednesday August 9 by the FBI in Utah, a few hours before a planned visit of the president in this state.
He had been under surveillance for months by the American authorities. A man who had made threats against Joe Biden was killed on Wednesday August 9 by the FBI in Utah (Western United States), a few hours before a planned visit by the president to this state.
The suspect, a septuagenarian identified as Craig Robertson in a complaint by federal prosecutors according to Le Figaro, had repeatedly threatened the American president on social networks.
Several designated targets
His vice president Kamala Harris was also targeted by his threats, as were his attorney general Merrick Garland and prosecutor Alvin Bragg who oversaw one of the investigations that led to an indictment of Donald Trump in New York.
Now is the time for a presidential assassination or two. First Joe then Kamala!!!
Craig Robertson, who also presented himself as a supporter of the former Republican president, had repeatedly published messages deemed disturbing, of this tenor: “The time has come for a presidential assassination or two. First Joe then Kamala!!!”
I hear that Biden is coming to Utah (…). I dust off the M24 rifle. Welcome, jester-in-chief!
A few days ago, he wrote this: “I hear that Biden is coming to Utah (…). I’m dusting off the M24 rifle. Welcome, jester-in-chief!”

Craig Robertson also reportedly released gun photos.
Le Secret Service, quoted by AFP and Le Figaro, said he was “aware of the FBI’s investigation involving an individual in Utah who threatened a Secret Service protected person,” without further comment. The person targeted was obviously the most powerful man in the world.
