A man from Sandpoint, Idaho was charged in federal court with threatening to kill Donald Trump.
In at least nine calls made to Trump’s Florida residence at his Mar-a-Lago club, Warren Jones Crazybull, 64, said he was going to kill the former president.
The calls were made on July 31 – just weeks after the assassination attempt on Trump at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13 where he was shot in the right ear.
In one call, according to a criminal complaint and affidavit first reported on Monday, Crazybull threatened to ‘find Trump’ and said he was ‘coming down to Bedminster tomorrow,’ which is the town where Trump National Golf Club is located in New Jersey.
Crazybull was tracked to Montana and arrested August 1 for the calls. He was indicted in Idaho federal court on August 20. A trial is scheduled for October 28.

The suspect pleaded not guilty to the single charge of making threats against a former president.
‘I am going to down him personally, and kill him,’ Crazybull said in one call, according to the Department of Justice complaint.
Mar-a-Lago security received the phone calls from the same number with the caller ID ‘Warren Jones.’
The security team informed U.S. Secret Service (USSS) about the nine calls containing threats.
Weeks after the first assassination attempt and the threatening calls, Trump was targeted again by Ryan Wesley Routh during a round of golf at his West Palm Beach, Florida club.
A Secret Service agent shot at Routh, 58, when he saw the muzzle of his rifle sticking through the bushes two holes ahead of where Trump was playing on September 15. Routh was arrested 50 miles from the scene and is facing multiple charges.
The first would-be assassin, Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, grazed Trump’s ear with one of his bullets, killed one rally goer and critically injured two others before he was neutralized by the USSS.
Multiple investigations are ongoing into the two assassination attempts by different agencies and congressional groups.
Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung blamed the latest news of the threats from Crazybull on the rhetoric of Vice President Kamala Harris.
‘Kamala Harris and liberal Democrats are the ones who are deranged,’ Cheung said in a statement Monday. ‘There have been two heinous assassination attempts on President Trump, and their violent rhetoric are directly to blame.’
Cheung called on Harris to ‘apologize for their hateful rhetoric’ and to ‘tone down their attacks.’
He said if they don’t, then the Democrats are ‘explicitly advocating for and inciting more bloodshed’ against Trump and Republicans who support him.
Crazybull’s identity was confirmed by Secret Service through phone records and comparing the voice of the threatening calls recorded by the Mar-a-Lago security staff with a video he posted to Facebook.
It appears his Facebook page has now been taken down or is no longer public.
But the page alleging to belong to Crazybull included other threats towards Trump and posts referring to Jeffrey Epstein, John John Kennedy Jr. (sic) and a ‘shadow government.’
Using location data from his T-Mobile phone, the Secret Service was able to determine his location and took him into custody in Montana, according to the court filing.
During an interview with USSS, an agent classified Crazybull as having ‘racing’ thought processes and seemed ‘confused’ and ‘paranoid.’
He said, according to the affidavit, that he wouldn’t try to kill Trump but was hellbent to ‘not let’ the former president take power again.
