ROME, GEORGIA, AUG 11 – Jauan Rashun Porter, a convicted felon on probation, was arrested after threatening to kill President Trump on a TikTok livestream and was found with explosives and ammunition in his home.

  • A Rome, Georgia man, Jauan Rashun Porter, 29, was arrested on August 7, 2025, for allegedly threatening President Donald Trump during a TikTok livestream.
