Ohio man charged over graphic threats to kill Trump, behead GOP lawmaker
Federal investigators say Alex Miller was arrested within 36 hours after sending an email that threatened to kill Rep. Randy Fine and Donald Trump.
- On Tuesday, the Department of Justice announced the arrest of Alex Miller, 26, for allegedly threatening to murder President Donald Trump and Florida Congressman Randy Fine with graphic online messages.
- Miller allegedly sent an email calling Fine and his family "disgusting Nazi f---s" and threatening to behead the congressman while declaring "DEATH TO DONALD TRUMP!!"
- The FBI, Brevard County Sheriff, Secret Service, and Capitol Police collaborated on the investigation, tracking down and arresting Miller within 36 hours of the threat being reported.
- Fine, who is Jewish, wrote on X that "there is no place in our political system" for such threats; if convicted, Miller faces five years in federal prison.
- Prosecutors must prove the communication constituted a true threat rather than protected speech, a legal hurdle the case reflects amid continuing concern about violence targeting public officials across the political spectrum.
