Arizona man charged with threatening to kill Donald Trump

An Arizona man, Manuel Tamayo-Torres, was arrested after allegedly posting videos threatening to kill President-elect Donald Trump and his family while brandishing an AR-15-style rifle.

Tamayo-Torres accused Trump of kidnapping and sex-trafficking his children in near-daily posts, including one at a Trump rally site.

In videos, he made explicit threats, including saying Trump’s “whole family is going to die.”

Arrested in California, Tamayo-Torres faces charges of threatening the president-elect and making false statements when purchasing a firearm, NBC News has reported.

He has a prior felony assault conviction and a history of domestic legal issues.
