Man charged over death threats against Donald Trump on Truth Social—DOJ

PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND, JUL 9 – Carl D. Montague faces multiple federal charges after posting death threats on Truth Social motivated by political frustrations, authorities said.

  • Carl D. Montague, a 37-year-old from Providence, Rhode Island, was arrested on July 1 for making threats against President Trump and senior officials.
  • Montague posted a profanity-laced threat on June 27 via Truth Social, prompting the platform's parent company to alert the U.S. Secret Service.
  • Federal agents traced the threatening post to Montague through IP address, subscriber, email, and financial records, then found him hiding in his apartment bathtub.
  • Montague confessed to making the threats while high on marijuana, expressed remorse, denied weapon possession, and claimed no intent to act on his statements.
  • Though prosecutors sought Montague's detention citing his criminal history and threat severity, a judge granted his release after his initial court appearance.
