The Justice Department has announced charges against a Florida man for allegedly threatening to kill President Joe Biden. This incident occurred just days before an unrelated assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. The FBI has stated that there is currently no known motive in the shooting targeting Trump and no evidence of any accomplices involved.
Jason Patrick Alday, 39, reportedly made threats against President Biden while checking into a mental health facility, initially stating he would 'slit' Biden's throat. Following this, in early July, Alday was interviewed by agents from the US Secret Service at his home regarding the alleged threats, which he denied. However, a few days later, Alday allegedly posted a threat on social media, stating 'I'll kill Joe Biden today!'
