A video that went viral over the weekend has placed a Michigan woman at the centre of a federal investigation after she appeared to threaten the life of President Donald Trump. The clip, shared on 1 June by Right Angle News Network on X, shows a woman identified as Rhonda Lee making a string of profanity-laced statements directed at an unidentified man, including a graphic reference to travelling to Washington, DC armed with a knife.
In the video, Lee can be heard saying, 'I have never been a violent person, but I'm about to drive up there with my god— neck knife and give that motherf----- a smiley face across his god— neck.' While Trump is not explicitly named in the footage, the context of the statements led to widespread identification of him as the target. The video spread rapidly, drawing condemnation from Trump supporters and calls for Lee's immediate arrest.
