from the Department of Justice.

Kyl Alton Hall was indicted Tuesday on two counts of threatening a sitting president or vice president and one count of a threat to a former president. Each charge could carry a penalty of up to five years in prison, according to the DOJ.

Authorities say the threats originated on the social media platform X. The Memphis-area man allegedly threatened to “*****, ************, ******, and ****** the plane” of Biden. He also threatened to ************ Harris and Obama.

The U.S. Secret Service investigated the case, which will be prosecuted by the national security and civil rights unit in the local U.S. attorney’s office.

A spokesperson for the Secret Service did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The charges come the same week that all three officials — Biden, Harris and Obama — appeared in Chicago to speak at the Democratic National Convention, where Harris accepted her party’s presidential nomination.
