WASHINGTON — A man in North Carolina has been federally charged for making multiple threats on social media videos to kill President Donald Trump with homemade IEDs.
According to a criminal complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, Christopher Key-Torrion Carnes, 33, of Georgia state, allegedly posted videos on Facebook between May and June in which he promised to kill the President.
