New York Man Arrested for Threatening to Kill Trump

A 72-year old man has been arrested and charged with threatening to kill former President Donald Trump. However, according to the Secret Service, the ex-President’s life was never truly in any danger.

According to reports, Thomas Welnicki, 72, repeatedly made threats against Trump in several phone calls to the Secret Service, beginning a year ago and continuing last September, November, and December. He’s accused of making similar statements to the U.S. Capitol Police. Welnicki was arrested on Monday, Jan. 10.

“I am going to do anything I can to take out [Individual-1],” Welnicki said in a voicemail message to the Secret Service on Jan. 4, according to the complaint. “Oh, yeah, that’s a threat. Come and arrest me.”

Trump was not identified by name in the complaint, which was filed in Brooklyn federal court. But a footnote said the person identified as “Individual-1” was “the U.S. president from Jan. 20, 2017, to Jan. 20, 2021.”

The complaint said Welnicki called the Secret Service three times from his cellphone on or around Nov. 8, 2021, and identified himself by name each time. During the first call, Welnicki repeatedly referred to Trump as “Hitler.”

“I will do everything I can to make sure [Individual-1] is dead,” Welnicki said, according to the complaint.

Welnicki had multiple voluntary interviews with law enforcement over the last 18 months, according to federal prosecutors.

According to the arrest records in July 2020, he bragged to the U.S. Capitol Police about how easy it was for him to obtain a firearm.

“I don’t want to hurt anyone, but I will stand up to fascism,” Welnicki said, according to the complaint.

At the end of the interview, he said, “I really hope that God takes [Individual-1] out.”

Welnicki appeared by video Monday afternoon to face the charge in federal court in Brooklyn. He was released on a $50,000 bond and was subject to GPS monitoring.

Welnicki, who lives in Rockaway Beach, Queens, must undergo alcohol and mental health treatment, according to his bond conditions.

Welnicki’s court-appointed lawyer, Dierdre Von Dornum, argued against location monitoring, saying that he didn’t pose any danger.

“The date of his earliest calls were over a year ago,” Von Dornum said during the hearing. “If there was any actual danger here, I am certain they would have arrested him sooner.”

  7. If it were a threat against any Democrats he would’ve been arrested after the first threat!! Double standards! He should be in prison!

  8. Soft judge. The guy needs location monitoring. Judge is just like the one who failed to make the uninsured drunk driver spend time in prison because she acted nice in front of him and her mommy kept her writing syrupy apology letters to her victim.
    What’s wrong with the judicial system?
    Do they even give a rats as about the victim who almost died and had to pay out over $20,000USD to pay copayments and coinsurance payments as well as replace the car the uninsured drunk driver wrecked?
