CNN —FBI special agents shot and killed a Utah man Wednesday while attempting to arrest him for allegedly making threats against President Joe Biden ahead of the president’s trip to the state.
The case comes amid heightened vitriol aimed at national and local leaders in the lead-up to the 2024 election and what FBI Director Christopher Wray has called an “unprecedented” level of threats against FBI agents.
“The Secret Service is aware of the FBI investigation involving an individual in Utah who has exhibited threats to a Secret Service protectee,” a Secret Service spokesperson said.
!”FBI agents approached Robertson at his house in March about a social media post, investigators wrote in an affidavit.
Don’t return without a warrant.”After the interaction, Robertson allegedly repeatedly threatened FBI agents online.
