Democratic presidential nominee and former Vice President Joe Biden is reportedly a target of a possible assassination plot by a 19-year-old man whose van was found loaded with weapons, explosives, and more than $500,000 in cash.
Based on court records, the suspect identified as Alexander Hillel Treisman traveled to Delaware, within four miles of Biden’s home earlier in May. The suspect traveled there within a month or so when he bought an AR-rifle in New Hampshire, according to CNBC.
On October 6, a magistrate in the federal district court in the Middle District of North Carolina ordered that Treisman, who was charged with possessing and transmitting child pornography, must be detained without bail.
The magistrate is convinced that the defendant poses a threat not only to Biden but also to the community’s safety based on the testimony of an FBI agent who explained why and how the defendant became a subject of a criminal investigation.
The defendant’s internet searches seeking information about Biden’s home address, state gun laws, rifle parts, and night vision goggles, as well as his actions indicating his desire to “execute” or kill the Democratic presidential nominee as well as his interest in terrorist activities and mass shootings as reasons for the pre-trial detention order.
