Jury convicts Marine veteran of threatening to kill the president
A Marine veteran was convicted by a jury of threatening to kill the president-elect through documents filed at federal courthouses, which detailed methods to assassinate either Kamala Harris or Donald Trump. His defense argued the filings were symbolic and not intended to be taken seriously, but prosecutors emphasized the criminal nature of the threats themselves.
