Tension in US as man threatens to kill Donald Trump ahead of inauguration
Someone who threatened to kill American President elect Donald Trump
has been arrested. Dominic Puopolo, 51, is being held without bail in
Miami on charges of threatening harm against a public servant.
The 51-year-old man was arrested by Miami Beach police Tuesday for
allegedly threatening President-elect Donald Trump online.
Puopolo is a member of a prominent northeast family close to Bill and
Hillary Clinton.
Daily Mail reports that he once gave $20,000 to the Democratic
National Committee.
Suspect Dominic Puopolo Jr., 51, sat near Hillary Clinton when she
delivered the eulogy at the funeral of Puopolo’s mother, Sonia, who
died in one of the jets that flew into the World Trade Center on 9-11.
During that eulogy on Oct. 6, 2001 in Boston, the former presidential
candidate referred to ‘Dom Jr.’s latest computer wizardry.’
The ‘wizard’ is now being held in a Miami-Dade County jail after using
Twitter to threaten Trump’s life.
Trump is scheduled to be sworn in Friday in Washington, D.C. as
Puopolo remains incarcerated on a charge of threatening to harm a
public servant.
Puopolo reportedly admitted to posting a video to Twitter, saying:
‘This is the 16th of January 2017, I will be at the review/
inauguration and I will kill President Trump, President elect Trump
today.’
He was nabbed after leaving a Washington Avenue Subway sandwich shop
about 4 pm on Tuesday.
