Wisconsin teen allegedly killed parents as part of Trump assassination plot - CNN

According to FBI materials obtained by CNN, Nikita Casap called for the assassination of the president and the overthrow of the US government in his written notes and text messages. Investigators claim that the murder of his parents was part of an effort to obtain the "financial means and autonomy" necessary to carry out the plan.

Murder of the parents and escape

Police believe that the suspect's mother, Tatiana Casap, and stepfather, Donald Mayer, were killed on February 11. Their bodies, which had gunshot wounds, were discovered only on February 28, after sheriff's deputies conducted a welfare check at their home.

The suspect was not at home, and the stepfather's SUV was declared missing.

That same evening, officers with the WaKeeney Police Department in Kansas stopped a stolen vehicle. Casap was behind the wheel. Inside the car, they found $14,000 in cash, jewelry worth the same amount, and a Magnum 357 revolver purchased by the suspect's stepfather.

Neo-Nazi "manifesto" and plans to kill Trump

The teenager's phone revealed materials related to "The Order of Nine Angles," a neo-Nazi network with racially motivated extremist views. They also found photos and messages linking him to a sort of "manifesto" describing plans to assassinate the president, create bombs, and carry out terrorist attacks.

The three-page document found by the FBI outlined the need to kill Trump for a political revolution in the US and to "save the white race."

"As to why, specifically Trump, I think it’s pretty obvious. By getting rid of the president and perhaps the vice president, that is guaranteed to bring in some chaos," one excerpt from the "manifesto" reads.

The document also contained images of Adolf Hitler and the text: "HAIL HITLER HAIL THE WHITE RACE HAIL VICTORY."

Drone instructions and contact with Russia

The phone also contained instructions on how to use a drone as a weapon. According to the investigation, the suspect partially funded the purchase of the drone and explosives for the attack. Photos of his stepfather's bank cards and access to his bank account were also found.

One of the suspect's classmates told the sheriff that Casap had mentioned his intention to kill his parents but didn't have a weapon. Later, the classmate reported that he planned to make contact with a gun owner and steal the weapon.

Casap also claimed to have communicated with an individual from Russia, with whom he planned to overthrow the US government and kill Trump.

Charges against the teenager

The Wisconsin teenager faces nine criminal charges, including two counts of first-degree intentional murder and two counts of concealing a corpse.

Federal investigators, in turn, have filed three charges: attempted assassination of the president, conspiracy, and the use of weapons of mass destruction.

A hearing in the case of 17-year-old Casap is scheduled for May 7.

Assassination attempts on Trump

During the election campaign, there were two assassination attempts on Trump.

On July 13, a gunman shot at Trump during a rally in Pennsylvania. Thomas Matthew Crooks fired at Trump in Butler, injuring him in the ear.

Two months later, on September 15, in Florida, suspect Ryan Routh positioned himself with a weapon near the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, which is owned by Trump, intending to shoot the politician during the presidential campaign. Trump was unharmed.
