Wisconsin Teen Plotted To Kill Trump To Start ‘Political Revolution’

1

Disturbing…

A 17-year-old Wisconsin teen accused of killing his mother and stepfather had also plotted to assassinate Presidentย Donald Trumpย to start a “political revolution,” according to court documents.

Nikita Casap, 17, had images and messages on his phone that referenced a “self-described manifesto regarding assassinating the president, making bombs, and terrorist attacks,” FOX6 Milwaukee reported, citing a search warrant filed with the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin.

Images of a three-page document titled “Accelerate the Collapse” called for the assassination of Trump, according to the report. 

Trump was specifically referenced in an excerpt from the document, which said “getting rid of the president and perhaps the vice president” is “guaranteed to bring in some chaos. โ€ฆ Point being this manifesto is specifically for the attack that targets Trump.”

Casap was charged earlier this month in theย shooting deathsย of his mother, Tatiana Casap, and his stepfather, Donald Mayer. The couple were found severely decomposed in their home on Feb 28 โ€“ more than two weeks after prosecutors allege Casap killed them.ย 

During an interview with one of Casapโ€™s classmates, authorities learned that Casap told the female classmate he had been in contact with aย man from Russia, who they claim knew about the teenโ€™s scheme to take passports, a car and the family dog and flee to Ukraine, according to the report.

A recent study by the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) has revealed a concerning trend: a significant portion of left-leaning Americans believe that political violence, including assassination, is justifiable against figures such as President Donald Trump and the de facto head of the Department of Government Efficiency, Elon Musk. The study surveyed over 1,200 U.S. adults and found that 38% of respondents felt that assassinating Trump would be at least “somewhat justified,” with this figure rising to 55% among those identifying as left-leaning. Similarly, 31% of overall participants, and 48% of left-leaning individuals, expressed some level of justification for assassinating Musk.

This data suggests a troubling normalization of violent political rhetoric within certain segments of the population. The NCRI report highlights that this shift has been particularly pronounced following the December 2024 assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, allegedly by Luigi Mangione. Mangione’s actions have been glamorized in various online communities, leading to a proliferation of memes and discussions that endorse political violence.

Rosie O’Donnell Asks For Prayers As Daughter Chelsea Faces ‘Scary Future’ In Prison

TV personality Rosie Oโ€™Donnell is appealing for prayers as her daughter Chelsea faces what she calls a โ€œscary future.โ€

Oโ€™Donnell posted on Instagram: โ€œMy child Chelsea Belle โ€“ before addiction took over her life โ€“ I loved her then, I love her now as she faces a scary future โ€“ prayers welcomed. #addiction awareness #love #family.โ€

According to court documents reviewed by Fox News Digital, Chelsea had her probation revoked on October 22 and was sentenced to serve time in prison.

In a written statement, Oโ€™Donnell said, โ€œI have compassion for those struggling with addiction โ€” Chelsea was born into addiction and it has been a painful journey for her and her four young children. We continue to love and support her through these horrible times. Prayers welcomed.โ€

Last year, authorities charged Chelsea with two counts of felony possession of methamphetamine and felony possession of narcotic drugs, along with two counts of possession/illegally obtaining prescription drugs and resisting or obstructing an officer. Her arrest followed a traffic stop in Niagara, Wisconsin, where officers pulled over a vehicle for loud exhaust โ€” they recovered a clear smoking device on Chelseaโ€™s person that tested positive for methamphetamine, and a prescription pill bottle containing a handful of pills and a crystal-like substance was found in her possession. At the time, Chelsea was out on bond for separate charges including child neglect and drug possession.

Oโ€™Donnellโ€™s Instagram post on December 3 responding to Chelseaโ€™s earlier arrest read: โ€œSo yes this is true โ€“ after being bailed out by her birth mother โ€“ Chelsea was arrested again โ€“ and is facing many charges related to her drug addiction โ€“ we all hope she is able to get the help she needs to turn her life around.โ€


Bring in the Trump context

Itโ€™s worth noting that Rosie Oโ€™Donnell has for years been a vocal critic of Donald Trump, and the public feud between them has become almost legendary. Back in December 2006, while hosting the daytime talk show The View, Oโ€™Donnell called Trump out over his handling of the Miss USA controversy and mocked him as no moral authority for young people โ€” saying, โ€œThis is not a self-made manโ€ฆ left the first wife, had an affair, left the second wife, had an affairโ€ฆโ€ People.com+2The List+2

Trump responded with scorn, calling Oโ€™Donnell โ€œa woman out of controlโ€ and a โ€œloser,โ€ threatening legal action though he never followed through. People.com+1 Over the years he repeatedly used her name as a punchline โ€” during the 2016 Republican primary debate when asked about his language toward women he quipped, โ€œOnly Rosie Oโ€™Donnell.โ€ The New Daily+1

In recent years their feud escalated further: After Oโ€™Donnell announced she had moved to Ireland following Trumpโ€™s second inauguration (January 2025), Trump publicly floated the idea of revoking her U.S. citizenship, calling her โ€œa Threat to Humanityโ€ and saying โ€œshe should remain in the wonderful country of Ireland, if they want her.โ€

Trump Orders Reopening Of Alcatraz Prison

By kevinmcgill from Den Bosch, Netherlands - KAM_8466, CC BY-SA 2.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=31689361

On Sunday, President Trumpย said that he wants to reopen the Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary, theย historic prison offshoreย from San Francisco that closed more than 60 years ago.

โ€œFor too long, America has been plagued by vicious, violent, and repeat Criminal Offenders, the dregs of society, who will never contribute anything other than Misery and Suffering. When we were a more serious Nation, in times past, we did not hesitate to lock up the most dangerous criminals, and keep them far away from anyone they could harm,โ€ Trump said in a post on Truth Social.

โ€œThatโ€™s the way itโ€™s supposed to be. No longer will we tolerate these Serial Offenders who spread filth, bloodshed, and mayhem on our streets. That is why, today, I am directing the Bureau of Prisons, together with the Department of Justice, FBI, and Homeland Security, to reopen a substantially enlarged and rebuilt ALCATRAZ, to house Americaโ€™s most ruthless and violent Offenders,โ€ he added.

The island, which sits less than 2 miles offshore, was first developed in the mid-19th century, with the original structures including a lighthouse.

Notableย figures includingย Al Caponeย and George โ€œMachine Gunโ€ Kelly were once held at Alcatraz, whichย was a federal prison fromย 1934-63.ย 

โ€œBoth the institution and the men confined within its walls reflect our society during this era,โ€ the National Park Service adds on a web page about the prison, which was also known as The Rock and gave that name to a popular Michael Bay action film set on the island.

In his Sunday post, Trump said Alcatrazโ€™s โ€œreopeningโ€ is going to โ€œserve as a symbol of Law, Order, and JUSTICE.โ€

The Bureau of Prisons notes on its website that โ€œUSP [United States Penitentiary] Alcatraz closed after 29 years of operationโ€ due to soaring costs.

โ€œAn estimated $3-5 million was needed just for restoration and maintenance work to keep the prison open. That figure did not include daily operating costs โ€” Alcatraz was nearly three times more expensive to operate than any other Federal prison,โ€ the bureau says.

The move comes as the Trump administration has also sought to revitalize Guantanamo Bay and use it to house illegal migrants.

The plan has faced roadblocks, however, with a federal court issuing a temporary restraining order blocking theย Trump administrationย from sending three Venezuelan immigrants held in New Mexico to the Guantรกnamo Bay, Cuba, detention camp.

Lawyers for the trio said in a legal filing that the detainees โ€œfit the profile of those the administration has prioritized for detention in Guantรกnamo, i.e. Venezuelan men detained in the El Paso area with (false) charges of connections with the Tren de Aragua gang.โ€

Anarchist Arrested In Murder-For-Hire Plot Targeting Top Government Official

5

A 29-year-old man has been arrested for what federal authorities describe as a brazen โ€œmurder-for-hireโ€ online plot targeting the U.S. Attorney General.

According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Minnesota resident Tyler Maxon Avalos was taken into custody on October 16 after a tipster notified them of his alleged TikTok post offering a $45,000 bounty on the life of Pam Bondi, the U.S. Attorney General.

The post reportedly featured Ms. Bondiโ€™s photo with a red target icon over her forehead and the caption: โ€œWANTED: Pam Bondi / REWARD: 45,000 DEAD OR ALIVE (PREFERABLY DEAD). Beneath the image: โ€˜Cough cough. When they donโ€™t serve us, then what?โ€™โ€

Court filings reveal Avalos used the handle โ€œWackoโ€ on TikTok and had references to an โ€œAn Anarchist FAQ bookโ€ in his profile. Authorities further noted his criminal history of violence: a July 2022 felony stalking conviction in Dakota County (Minnesota), an August 2016 felony third-degree domestic battery charge in Polk County, Florida, and an April 2016 misdemeanor domestic assault in Dakota County (originally a felony domestic assault by strangulation). The affidavit describes media concerns that Avalos has โ€œanarchist ties,โ€ though the FBI has not publicly confirmed a full motive.

Federal prosecutors say Avalos now faces a charge of interstate transmission of a threat to injure another person โ€” a federal crime carrying potentially years in prison. His attorney, Daniel Gerdts, stated only that his client โ€œis not guilty of any crime.โ€

Recent incidents of violence targeting Republican or conservative figures

While the Bondi case is extraordinary, it aligns with a growing body of incidents in which political actors โ€” particularly those associated with the Republican side โ€” have been targeted:

  • In September 2024, at least one apparent assassination attempt on Donald Trump (the Republican former-President and leading 2024 nominee) was reported.
  • More broadly, an analysis by the Center for Strategic & International Studies (CSIS) found that between 2016 and 2025 there were 25 attacks and plots targeting elected officials, candidates, judges and other government figures motivated by extremist partisan beliefs โ€” more than triple the number in the previous 25 years combined.
  • While some of the high-profile cases involve Democratic officials (for example, the June 2025 shootings of Minnesota legislators), the broader trend applies across the ideological spectrum: violence is trending upward, not just against one side but throughout governmentโ€”and conservatives are explicitly among the targets.

Polls & studies confirm the spike in political violence

The Bondi bounty scheme emerges against a backdrop of disturbing data indicating rising public concern and creeping acceptance of politically motivated violence:

Other surveys show that while majorities condemn political violence, many believe it will increase. For example, a CBS News poll found that people of all parties overwhelmingly find political violence unacceptable โ€” yet they are concerned it will escalate.

A recent study found that 86 % of Americans believe political violence is either a major or minor problem โ€” the highest in two years. When asked whether political violence has increased over the past few years, 78 % said yes.

A Pew Research Center-sponsored survey found that Americans believe politically-motivated violence is increasing, and that polarization is seen as a key cause.

A PBS/NPR/Marist poll found that nearly one-third of Americans now believe political violence may be necessary to set the country back on track โ€” up from 19 % about a year and a half earlier.

Other surveys show that while majorities condemn political violence, many believe it will increase. For example, a CBS News poll found that people of all parties overwhelmingly find political violence unacceptable โ€” yet they are concerned it will escalate.

Secret Service Investigating Former FBI Director Over Alleged โ€˜Assassinationโ€™ Threat

1

A former FBI official is being investigated over his alleged threats against President Trump.

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretaryย Kristi Noemย accused former FBI Directorย James Comeyย of calling for President Trumpโ€™s โ€œassassination,โ€ saying federal law enforcement authorities are now investigating the โ€œthreat.โ€

โ€œDisgraced former FBI Director James Comey just called for the assassination of @POTUS Trump,โ€ Noem wrote on the social platform X on Thursday evening.

โ€œDHS and Secret Service is investigating this threat and will respond appropriately,โ€ she added.

Comey, a longtime critic of Trump’s, posted a photo earlier Thursday on Instagram of seashells on a beach arranged to form the numbers โ€œ8647.โ€ The post garnered significant blowback from much of Trumpโ€™s base, with many understanding the numbers to be a call for violence against the 47th president, Trump. Others suggested the โ€œ86โ€ could be calling for the president to be impeached or removed from office.

Comey removed the photo Thursday evening and clarified in a new post that he did not intend to call for violence and didnโ€™t realize his message would be interpreted that way.

โ€œI posted earlier a picture of some shells I saw today on a beach walk, which I assumed were a political message,โ€ Comey wrote on Instagram.

โ€œI didnโ€™t realize some folks associate those numbers with violence,โ€ he continued. โ€œIt never occurred to me but I oppose violence of any kind so I took the post down.โ€

In a statement to The Hill, a spokesperson for the Secret Service said the agency โ€œvigorously investigates anything that can be taken as a potential threat against our protectees.โ€

โ€œWe take this responsibility very seriously and we are aware of the social media posts in question,โ€ the spokesperson continued. โ€œBeyond that, we do not comment on protective intelligence matters.โ€

FBI Directorย Kash Patelย also weighed in on the matter in a post Thursday.

โ€œWe are aware of the recent social media post by former FBI Director James Comey, directed atย President Trump,โ€ Patel wrote on X.

โ€œWe are in communication with the Secret Service and Director Curran. Primary jurisdiction is with SS on these matters and we, the FBI, will provide all necessary support,โ€ he continued.

Smartmatic Execs Accused Of Bribery Scheme Tied To $300M LA Voting Contract

Federal prosecutors in Miami say top Smartmatic executives funneled money from a $300 million Los Angeles County voting contract into an illegal slush fund.

According to the Justice Department, Smartmatic co-founder Roger Alejandro Piรฑate Martinez and two others used shell companies and fake invoices to siphon off cash from the taxpayer-funded deal. That money allegedly ended up in bribes paid to government officials in Venezuela and the Philippines.

Joe DePaolo of Mediaite offers further insights:

Smartmatic isย suing Fox News for $2.7 billionย โ€” alleging the network defamed them by promoting Presidentย Donald Trumpโ€™sย false claims of a stolen election in the days and weeks after the 2020 vote.

The new filing is part of a corruption case in Florida against the three Smartmatic executives for allegedly operating a bribery and money-laundering scheme in which they are accused of paying off an election official in the Philippines to help secure $182 million in contracts. The DOJ also claims the executives carried a similar plot with a Venezuelan official โ€” whom the executives gave a home with a pool in 2019, according to prosecutors.

The DOJ hasn’t charged Smartmatic as a company, nor has it accused any L.A. County officials of wrongdoing. Still, the department is clearly using the L.A. contract to establish a pattern of corrupt practices tied to the voting tech firm.

DePaolo continues:

Notably, the original case against the Smartmatic executives was brought in August 2024, during the final months of the Biden administration.

Inย a statement provided to theย Los Angeles Times, Smartmatic spokespersonย Samira Sabaย said the DOJโ€™s filing contained misrepresentations that were โ€œuntethered from reality.โ€

The DOJโ€™s latest move builds on earlier charges against the same executives. Federal prosecutors had previously accused Piรฑate of laundering money through a similar slush fund to bribe election officials in the Philippines during the 2016 elections.

To be clear, no one is alleging votes were tampered with or election results altered. The charges focus strictly on financial corruption โ€” kickbacks, shell firms, and international bribery.

Report: Trump Expected To Fire U.S. Attorney

President Donald Trump is expected to fire the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia after his office was unable to find incriminating evidence ofย mortgage fraudย against New York Attorney General Letitia James, according to sources.ย 

Federal prosecutors in Virginia had uncovered no clear evidence to prove that James had knowingly committed mortgage fraud when she purchased a home in the state in 2023, ABC Newsย first reportedย earlier this week, but Trump officials pushed U.S. Attorney Erik Siebert to nevertheless bring criminal charges against her, according to sources.

The president has reportedly been leaning on federal prosecutors to bring charges against James for alleged mortgage fraud. She has beenย accusedย of falsely claiming her house in Virginia as her primary residence despite being legally required to live in New York as an elected official there.

ABC News reported on Wednesday that Siebert, who is the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, was having difficulty finding enough evidence to sustain a conviction against James. On Thursday, the outlet said Trump is expected to fire the prosecutor.

โ€œAdministration officials have told Siebert of Trumpโ€™s intention to fire him, sources familiar with the matter said,โ€ ABC News stated. โ€œSiebertโ€™s last day on the job is expected to be Friday.โ€

Trump nominated Siebert for the job in May.

โ€œThe decision to fire Siebert could throw into crisis one of the most prominent U.S. attorneyโ€™s offices, which handles a bulk of the countryโ€™s espionage and terrorism cases, and heighten concerns about Trumpโ€™s alleged use of the DOJ to target his political adversaries,โ€ ABC News stated.

In May, the FBI opened an investigation into the notorious prosecutor. James has denied wrongdoing and called the investigation politically motivated, pointing to her officeโ€™s civil fraud case against Trump. That case ultimately resulted in a $354 million judgment against the president, which also bars his

During her 2018 campaign for attorney general, James publicly stated she intended to pursue legal action against Trump and investigate his business dealings in New York.

While campaigning, James vowed to shine a โ€œbright light into every cornerโ€ of Trumpโ€™s โ€œreal estate dealings.โ€ Her critics โ€” including Trump himself โ€” would later argue that her civil lawsuit against him was a political witch hunt.

In announcing the probe, US Attorney John A. Sarcone III took a swipe at Jamesโ€™s 2018 campaign rhetoric about investigating President Donald Trump.

The US attorney said James โ€œunethically ran around the state campaigning on getting Donald Trump,โ€ and essentially accused her of finding a criminal target without an alleged crime.

He added:

We stand prepared to act in the capacity that we need to when and if we are informed thereโ€™s a charge to be made. Unlike Letitia James, who unethically ran around the state campaigning on getting Donald Trumpโ€ฆ my office conducts itself in a manner that is proper and professional.

Taxpayers May Be Forced To Cover Legal Fees For NY AG Letitia James Amid Fraud Probe

New York taxpayers could soon find themselves footing the legal bill for Attorney General Letitia James as she prepares to defend herself against a federal investigation into alleged mortgage and real estate fraud. Buried in New Yorkโ€™s newly approved operations budget is language that opens a $10 million fund to reimburse state officials โ€” including James โ€” for โ€œreasonable attorneysโ€™ fees and expensesโ€ tied to investigations launched by the federal government after January 1, 2025.

Though the budget provision does not mention James by name, sources familiar with the matter confirmed to The New York Post that the fund was included with her case in mind. The fund could also apply to other state officials targeted by a Trump administration-led Department of Justice as it reopens investigations into political and institutional corruption.

The controversy stems from a criminal referral issued last month by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), whose director, William Pulte, accused James of falsifying mortgage documents and misrepresenting her residency status. According to the referral sent to U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, James claimed a Virginia home โ€” allegedly purchased on behalf of her niece โ€” as her primary residence, a move that could constitute mortgage fraud.

James, who gained national prominence for her high-profile civil fraud case against Donald Trump, has come under scrutiny for what critics now call a double standard. Once the face of the โ€œno one is above the lawโ€ mantra, she now finds herself leaning on state funds and a private legal defense to fight the allegations. A spokesperson for her office called the probe โ€œpolitical retributionโ€ and vowed to fight what they characterized as a โ€œrevenge tourโ€ orchestrated by Trump.

But Republicans are not buying the victim narrative.

โ€œThis is what corruption looks like in plain sight: political insiders rigging the system to protect their own, while hardworking families get shortchanged,โ€ said New York GOP Chair Ed Cox. โ€œTish James used her office to wage partisan lawfare against her political opponents, and now New Yorkers are footing the bill for the consequences.โ€

Critics also slammed what they describe as a legal “bailout” hidden in plain sight. The language in the budget states that any state employee facing a federal investigation related to their duties may seek reimbursement โ€” a clause that could be used broadly and, according to opponents, easily abused.

The legal support fund is likely to inflame already tense debates over partisanship, misuse of public resources, and institutional trust. With New Yorkโ€™s top law enforcement officer now potentially under federal investigation, questions will continue to mount over the ethical boundaries between public office and political warfare โ€” and who ends up paying the price.

Speaker Johnson Says Trump Deserves Nobel Peace Prize For DC Police Takeover

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) is calling for President Donald Trump to be recognized on the world stage after his decisive leadership brought unprecedented safety to the nationโ€™s capital.

On Monday, Johnson said Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize following 11 straight days without a single reported murder in Washington, D.C. โ€” a stunning turnaround after Trump took charge of the cityโ€™s police force.

โ€œThere are MANY reasons why President Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize โ€“ but 11 straight days with ZERO murders in Washington, D.C. might top the list,โ€ Johnson posted on social media. โ€œSAFER streets. STRONGER communities. AMERICA IS BACK!โ€

Trump Delivers Where Democrats Failed

The numbers come from the Metropolitan Police Departmentโ€™s own preliminary data: from August 14 through August 24, not one homicide was reported in the city.

This sharp decline follows Trumpโ€™s August 11 takeover of D.C.โ€™s police department, a bold move to re-establish law and order in a city long plagued by violent crime under Democrat leadership. Since Trump stepped in, only two killings have been reported โ€” one on August 11, and another on August 13.

Critics may try to downplay the results, noting there was a 16-day stretch earlier this year without a murder, but itโ€™s clear that Trumpโ€™s hands-on leadership and โ€œlaw and orderโ€ agenda have already had a direct impact on restoring peace and safety to Americaโ€™s capital.

A President Who Gets Results

President Trump has never hidden his desire to win the Nobel Peace Prize โ€” and many argue he has already earned it for his historic Middle East peace agreements, his refusal to drag America into new foreign wars, and now, for bringing real results to Americaโ€™s streets.

Even world leaders agree. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said he nominated Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize, recognizing Trumpโ€™s unmatched record of delivering peace and stability.

The Bottom Line

While Democrats and the mainstream media remain silent, the facts are clear: Trumpโ€™s leadership is saving lives. Speaker Johnsonโ€™s call for Trump to receive the Nobel Peace Prize isnโ€™t just political theater โ€” it reflects the reality that Trumpโ€™s America First agenda delivers real safety, real security, and real peace.

Report: House Task Force Releases Scathing Assassination Disclosure

Americans still want answers…

On Monday, the House Task Force investigating the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania released its initial findings.

Lack of adequate planning, a narrow field of vision for local snipers, the absence of a unified command post and fragmented communication were among the main findings in theย 53-page reportย that examinedย howย 20-year-old shooter Matthew Crooks was able to climb atop a building with a line of sight to Trump and fire at him.ย 

“Although the findings in this report are preliminary, the information obtained during the first phase of the Task Forceโ€™s investigation clearly shows a lack of planning and coordination between the Secret Service and its law enforcement partners before the rally,” the report said.

U.S. Secret Service (USSS) personnel at the event “did not give clear guidance” to state and local authorities about how to manage security outside of their hard perimeter, nor was there a central meeting between USSS and the law enforcement agencies supporting them the morning of the rally โ€“ two findings presented as key failures in the 51-page report.

The Houseย Task Forceย investigating the attempts on Trumpโ€™s life is expected to release its final report by Dec. 13.

Read the interim report in its entirety:

Crooksโ€™s bullet came within inches of killing the former president and injured his ear. Shots also killed one rally attendee and seriously wounded two others.ย 

The latest report also detailed information about Crooksโ€™ autopsy report and the chain of events that led to release of the remains to the Crooksโ€™s family. The Butler County Coronerโ€™s office released the remains after the FBI concurred that no additional evidence was necessary, the report said. 

The autopsy report found that Crooks died from one gunshot wound to the head, found negative results for alcohol or drugs of abuse, but was positive for antimony, selenium, and lead. Heightened levels of lead could have been due to time spent at the shooting range, the Allegheny County Chief Medical Examiner said.

The House force is made up of a bipartisan group of lawmakers and has also been assigned to investigate the September apparent assassination attempt on Trump in at the Trump International Golf Course in West Palm Beach, Florida. 

โ€œThe Task Force will continue to rigorously investigate the July 13 assassination attempt in the coming months,โ€ the report said, adding that it is โ€œin the process of conducting more than 20 transcribed interviews of federal officials and others who may have knowledge relevant to the events of July 13.โ€
