'I'm going to kill him': Man named Crazybull charged with death threats against Trump
An Idaho man has been charged with repeatedly making threatening phone calls to Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago.
Warren Jones Crazybull, 64, of Sandpoint, made at least nine calls to the private resort since July 31 threatening to kill the former president, according to a criminal complaint first reported by Forbes.
“Find Trump…I am coming down to Bedminster tomorrow," he allegedly said in one call. "I am going to down him personally and kill him."
Mar-a-Lago security said that call and eight others came from the same phone number with the caller ID "Warren Jones." A Facebook page that appears to belong to Crazybull included more violent threats against the Republican presidential nominee and references to Jeffrey Epstein, "John Kennedy Jr" and a “shadow government.”
U.S. Secret Service agents used phone data to track down Crazybull in Montana and questioned him, and an agent said in the affidavit that he seemed "paranoid" and said he would not try to kill Trump but pledged that he would "not let" him become president again.
Crazybull was arrested Aug. 1 and indicted Aug. 20 in federal court in Idaho, where he has pleaded not guilty to one count of making threats against a former president. A trial is scheduled to begin on Oct. 28.
The calls Crazybull allegedly made came about two weeks after an apparent assassination attempt on July 13 on Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, and several weeks before an armed man was arrested near Trump’s golf club in West Palm Beach, Florida, in another apparent attempt to kill the former president.

“Kamala Harris and liberal Democrats are the ones who are deranged," said Trump campaign spokesman Stephen Cheung. "There have been two heinous assassination attempts on President Trump, and their violent rhetoric is directly to blame. If the Democrats and Kamala Harris do not come out and apologize for their hateful rhetoric and tone down their attacks that have stoked the flames of violence, they are explicitly advocating for and inciting more bloodshed against President Trump."
Harris did not respond to a request for comment about Crazybull's arrest but condemned political violence after the gunman's arrest in south Florida, Forbes reported.
“As we gather the facts, I will be clear: I condemn political violence," Harris said in a statement. "We all must do our part to ensure that this incident does not lead to more violence. I am thankful that former President Trump is safe.”
