Upstate New York man charged with threatening Donald Trump Jr.
An Upstate New York man has been busted for allegedly threatening to assassinate first son Donald Trump Jr.
James Gerald Eckert Jr., 39, of Rochester, NY, allegedly used his full name while posting a series of chilling threats to President Trump’s oldest son in the group chat on Don Jr.’s podcast, federal prosecutors said Monday.
“Im going to kill you, (expletive), I am going to kill this (expletive) on the screen,” read some of the messages on the feed for “Triggered with Donald Trump Jr.,” according to authorities.
The threats were spotted by a member of the US Secret Service on duty at Don Jr.’s home on June 18, according to the criminal complaint.
