Ohio man charged over graphic threats to kill Trump, behead GOP lawmaker
2026-08-25
[FoxNews] An Ohio man was arrested by the FBI after allegedly making graphic threats against a Jewish Republican congressman and calling for the death of President Donald Trump.

Alex Justin Miller, 26, is accused of sending a "true threat" to Rep. Randy Fine, R-Fla., and his family, according to the Department of Justice (DOJ).

A copy of the message separately obtained by Fox News Digital shows Miller allegedly called Fine and his family "Nazi f—-s" and said he would burn their house down, pledging he would "never stop until your head is hanging from the rooftops of the White House." His message ended with "DEATH TO RANDY FINE AND DEATH TO DONALD TRUMP."

Miller was charged with interstate transmission of a threat to injure by the U.S. Attorney in the Middle District of Florida and faces up to five years in prison if convicted, the DOJ said.
Florida Voice News has an overly wide-eyed photo of the gentleman and more about the hunt:
Alex Justin Miller, 26, of Columbus, Ohio, was charged by criminal complaint in the Middle District of Florida with the interstate transmission of a threat to injure. U.S. Attorney Gregory W. Kehoe announced the charges Wednesday. If convicted, Miller faces up to five years in federal prison.

According to federal court records, the investigation began on Aug. 18, when the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office alerted the FBI to an email sent directly to a local member of Congress. When the message was received, the lawmaker was attending a meeting in Flagler County, while family members were at their Brevard County residence.

An affidavit filed by an FBI Special Agent assigned to the Joint Terrorism Task Force outlines the violent text sent from the email address gamestormguy316@gmail.com at 9:02 a.m. EDT.

Law enforcement moved swiftly to trace the threat. Brevard County Sheriff’s deputies issued emergency disclosure requests to Google and Charter Communications, linking the Gmail account and the originating IP address to Miller’s residence in Columbus, Ohio. Subscriber records, Google Pay history, financial accounts on Cash App and Venmo, and Ohio Department of Motor Vehicles records all pointed directly to Miller.

The joint law enforcement response involved the FBI, the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office, the U.S. Capitol Police, and the U.S. Secret Service. Assistant U.S. Attorney Courtney D. Richardson-Jones is prosecuting the case.
