Ohio man charged over graphic threats to kill Trump, behead GOP lawmaker

Federal investigators say Alex Miller was arrested within 36 hours after sending an email that threatened to kill Rep. Randy Fine and Donald Trump.

  • On Tuesday, the Department of Justice announced the arrest of 26-year-old Alex Miller for allegedly threatening to murder President Donald Trump and Florida Congressman Randy Fine.
  • Miller allegedly sent a graphic email calling Fine and his family "disgusting Nazi f---s" and declaring "DEATH TO DONALD TRUMP!!" while threatening to behead the congressman.
  • The FBI, Brevard County Sheriff, Secret Service, and Capitol Police collaborated on the investigation, quickly tracking down and arresting Miller within 36 hours of the threat.
  • Fine, who is Jewish, wrote on X that "there is no place in our political system" for such threats; if convicted, Miller faces five years in prison.
  • Prosecutors must prove the communication constituted a true threat rather than protected speech, as the case reflects continuing concern about violence targeting public officials across the political spectrum.
