In response to a criminal complaint alleging that a 25-year-old Georgia man named Aliakbar Mohammad Amin transmitted interstate threats to harm Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard and her husband, Amin has been arrested and charged.

“Threatening to harm public officials is a criminal act that cannot be excused as political discourse,” stated Acting U.S. Attorney Richard S. Moultrie, Jr. “Our Office, in coordination with our law enforcement partners, will vigorously prosecute individuals who commit these acts of violence.”

“The FBI sees all threatening communications as a serious federal offense. We will employ every investigative tool and resource available to identify those responsible and ensure they are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” stated Paul Brown, Special Agent in Charge of FBI Atlanta. “Let this arrest serve as a clear warning: if you engage in this kind of criminal behavior, you will be caught and you will go to prison.”

Acting U.S. Attorney Moultrie stated in the complaint, attached as evidence in court, that Amin reportedly conveyed threats against DNI Gabbard and her husband by text message between March 29th and April 1st, 2025.

Some of these threats included the messages:

  • “You and your family are going to die soon” and “I will personally do the job if necessary.”
  • “Death to America means death to America literally, Tulsi is living on borrowed time.
  • “The home you two own. . . is a legitimate target and will be hit at a time and place of our choosing.”
  • “Prepare to die, you, Tulsi, and everyone you hold dear. America will burn.”

Similar threats purportedly made by Amin were also discovered by federal authorities throughout the investigation in his social media posts, including one that showed a firearm being aimed at a picture of Gabbard, and another that showed a firearm aimed at a picture of both Gabbard and her husband.

Later, while carrying out a warrant search of Amin’s residence, federal officials found the firearm.

On April 11th, 2025, Amin, 25, of Lilburn, Georgia, was charged with violating Title 18, United States Code, Section 875(c) in a criminal complaint that had previously been sealed.

After his first appearance in federal court, a U.S. Magistrate Judge ordered him to be held pending trial.

An image of Amin has not yet been released by federal authorities.

Operation Take Back America is a nationwide effort that uses all of the Department of Justice’s resources to combat illegal immigration, eradicate cartels and transnational criminal organizations (TCOs), shielding U.S. communities from violent crime perpetrators. This case is part of that effort.

Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) and the Department’s Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force (OCDETF) pool their resources and efforts under Operation Take Back America.

“For further information please contact the U.S. Attorney’s Public Affairs Office at USAGAN.PressEmails@usdoj.gov or (404) 581-6280.  The Internet address for the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Georgia is http://www.justice.gov/usao-ndga,” according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office – Northern District of Georgia.

Correction- 4/15/25- 3:30 pm: Amin has since turned 25 since his arrest. One America News (OAN) has corrected the age of 24 to 25.

96.9% of Americans Charged with Hunter Biden’s Gun Crimes Get Jail Time

In the run-up to the 2024 Presidential election, President Joe Biden vowed not to use his presidential authority to pardon his son, Hunter Biden. He has doubled down multiple times through states and his press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, but now he has backtracked and pardoned his son, who was convicted of lying on an ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives) Form 4473 and was accused of tax evasion.

Hunter Biden was arrested and successfully prosecuted for lying on an ATF Form 4473 that he filled out when he purchased a revolver from a Delaware gun shop. The firearm was recovered from a dumpster after his lover and dead brother’s wife disposed of it. When Hunter purchased the handgun, he was an addicted user of crack cocaine. Hunter would mark that he was not an unlawful user of drugs on the form.

After being charged, the younger Biden was offered a sweetheart deal not in line with those provided to others accused of lying on the government form. The judge rejected that deal, sending the case to a jury trial. He would be convicted on all charges and was waiting for sentencing. Even after the felony conviction, his father would maintain that there was no chance that he would pardon his son.

Hunter Biden was also facing charges of tax evasion. He allegedly hid large sums of money from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Hunter has always blamed his tax issues on his addictions. There have also been accusations of Hunter selling access to his father when Joe Biden was Vice President. Critics claim that the President’s son made millions from the scheme, leading some on the Republican side of the aisle to refer to the family as the “Biden Crime Family.”

Late Sunday night, President Joe Biden would break his promise not to use his presidential power to pardon his son. He claimed that the Democrat-run Department of Justice (DOJ) targeted his son for political reasons. He claimed his son did nothing wrong when lying on the 4473 because there wasn’t a victim. President Biden said almost no one is charged with lying on a 4473. Quick research shows that several hundred people each year are charged with lying on the ATF gun purchase form.

The President wrote: “Today, I signed a pardon for my son Hunter. From the day I took office, I said I would not interfere with the Justice Department’s decision-making, and I kept my word even as I have watched my son being selectively, and unfairly, prosecuted. Without aggravating factors like use in a crime, multiple purchases, or buying a weapon as a straw purchaser, people are almost never brought to trial on felony charges solely for how they filled out a gun form. Those who were late paying their taxes because of serious addictions, but paid them back subsequently with interest and penalties, are typically given non-criminal resolutions. It is clear that Hunter was treated differently.”

The DOJ issued a press release in January of last year stating that it is “aggressively pursuing those who lie in connection with firearms transactions.” The ATF and the DOJ are taking a hard line on those who lie when purchasing a firearm. The press release included examples of Americans charged and convicted of the same crime as Hunter Biden. Many wonder if President Biden will pardon these Americans as well.

United States Attorney Robert J. “Bob” Troester wrote: “Federal law prohibits knowingly making any false statement in connection with purchasing, or attempting to purchase, a firearm. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) requires prospective firearm buyers to complete ATF Form 4473. This Form requires buyers to answer several questions, including those about the buyer’s competency, criminal history, drug use, immigration status, and history with domestic violence. Applicants who knowingly make false statements may also face criminal prosecution for a felony and up to 10 years in federal prison.”

The ATF even had an operation that included going after people lying on a 4473. “Project Safe Neighborhoods” was a nationwide effort to catch and prosecute those lying on a 4473. The ATF and the DOJ disagree with the President’s accusation that lying on a 4473 isn’t a big deal. According to both agencies, the crimes are serious, and the government should be pursuing the violators with all available resources.

“Keeping guns out of the hands of those who shouldn’t have them is of paramount concern,” said U.S. Attorney Robert J. Troester. “We will use the tools available to us to pursue those who use a straw purchaser or lie when trying to buy a gun. We will continue to work closely with ATF and our law enforcement partners to prevent guns from falling into the wrong hands by holding accountable those who lie to get them.”

President Biden also insists that his son’s alleged tax evasion should be forgiven because of his addiction to crack cocaine at the time the crime was committed. Many will point out that the U.S. prison system is full of people who commit crimes because of their addictions. This contradiction causes many to think that President Biden is acting hypocritical by pardoning his son, not just for going back on his promise but for his push to prosecute aggressively those citizens who commit similar crimes. Others claim this is an example of a two-tiered justice system where the rich and powerful can commit crimes with impunity, even though Biden has stated many times in the past that “no one is above the law.”

Hunter Biden issued a statement on the pardon after it was made public by the White House. He blamed politics for his convictions. Hunter said he would dedicate his life to helping people who are “sick and suffering.” He thanked his family for supporting him through his trials.

Hunter Biden’s Statement: “I have admitted and taken responsibility for my mistakes during the darkest days of my addiction — mistakes that have been exploited to publicly humiliate and shame me and my family for political sport. Despite all of this, I have maintained my sobriety for more than five years because of my deep faith and the unwavering love and support of my family and friends. In the throes of addiction, I squandered many opportunities and advantages. In recovery we can be given the opportunity to make amends where possible and rebuild our lives if we never take for granted the mercy that we have been afforded. I will never take the clemency I have been given today for granted and will devote the life I have rebuilt to helping those who are still sick and suffering.”

Hunter Biden’s legal team has filed motions with the courts in both cases to have them dismissed because of the pardon.

Former Florida Congressional Candidate Charged After Threatening To Kill Opponent Rep. Ana Paulina Luna

A former Republican congressional candidate has been charged after allegations of threatening to kill his political opponent in 2021. 

William Braddock has been accused of making the alleged threats on June 8th, 2021, which include threatening to “call up [his] Russian-Ukrainian hit squad” to take out his rival, Representative Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.).

Prosecutors stated that the Republican candidate had been caught on audio calling Luna a “dead squirrel” and “a f—ing speed bump in the road.” 

A conservative activist recorded Braddock where he can be heard making threats against Luna.

“I really don’t want to have to end anybody’s life for the good of the people of the United States of America,” he was heard saying in the audio, as reported by Politico.

“That will break my heart. But if it needs to be done, it needs to be done. Luna is a f—ing speed bump in the road. She’s a dead squirrel that you run over every day when you leave the neighborhood.”

Braddock then went on to deny making any threats and insisted that the audio may have been altered. A judge later green-lit a restraining order against him.

After leaving the U.S., Braddock went to the Philippines and was eventually extradited there. The Justice Department said he was charged with one count of interstate transmission of a true threat to injure another person. 

On Thursday, he appeared in federal court in Los Angeles.

After winning the election, Luna was sworn into Congress for the first time in January 2023. 

Luna disclosed earlier this month that a “very serious shooting threat” was received by her office. She was vague about the specifics of the threat due to an ongoing investigation into it by law enforcement.

A new Senate report has revealed that the U.S. Secret Service agent in charge of former President Donald Trump’s July 13th Butler, Pennsylvania, rally was aware of “credible intelligence” regarding a dire security threat, yet did not pass the information on to event planners or her supervisor.

The Wednesday report, released by the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee and Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, found that the Secret Service’s lead agent in charge of the Trump rally had stated in a security planning document that there was “no adverse intelligence” regarding Trump’s Butler rally, despite her own “prior knowledge of an unspecified threat.”

Additionally, the advance agent in question reportedly told Senate investigators that she had notified the special agent in charge (SAIC) of the Secret Service’s Pittsburgh field office regarding the “credible intelligence” prior to the rally. However, after contacting Pittsburgh’s SAIC and speaking to him directly, he disputed her claims and informed Senate officials that he was not informed and had no knowledge of this.

Pittsburgh SAIC then told investigators that if he had known about the threat, the rally would have most likely moved to an indoor location in order to mitigate the potential risk.

The 94-page report also cited security failures, which included: a lack of chain of command, poor coordination between state and local law enforcement, insufficient equipment and resources, and a failure to effectively secure the site of the rally.

Gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, came within millimeters of killing the former president on live television. Crooks climbed on top of a nearby building and, soon after, fired eight gunshots from his AK-47 style firearm in Trump’s direction. Nonetheless, the gunman only hit Trump in the side of his right ear, as the former president had turned and moved his head at the exact timing of the gunshots.

However, 50-year-old rally goer Corey Comperatore and two others were not so lucky. Comperatore passed away that day after being hit by a barrage of bullets, while the other two men were quickly rushed to the hospital.

In terms of the Senate report, it also revealed that counter snipers were on site due to this exact “credible intelligence” of a threat, yet the majority of Secret Service personnel who spoke to the committee still claimed that they had been unaware of the threat.

Secret Service agents said that they “could not identify” who had the final authority to make decisions during the Trump event.

“It was almost like an ‘Abbott and Costello’ farce with ‘who’s on first’ finger pointing by all of the different actors,” stated Connecticut Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), “It was really truth being stranger than fiction.”

“Every single one of these actions is directly related to a failure in the U.S. Secret Service’s planning, communications, intelligence sharing and law enforcement coordination efforts,” Chairman Gary Peters stated on Tuesday. “Every single one of these failures was preventable, and the consequences of those failures were dire.”

Despite egregious mistakes by the lead agent and other Secret Service members, they still refused to accept any responsibility when questioned by investigators on the security failure findings.

The lead agent’s identity has not been made public, however, during a July hearing with Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe, Missouri Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) stated “I know their name,” referencing the lead agent.

Secret Service spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi also stated that the agency reviewed the report and agreed that the committee’s findings aligned with many of the Secret Service’s “Mission Assurance Review,” revealing multiple communication issues as well as a lack of “due diligence.”

“The weight of our mission is not lost on us and in this hyperdynamic threat environment, the U.S. Secret Service cannot fail,” Guglielmi stated. “Many of the insights gained from the Senate report aligned with the findings from our mission assurance review and are essential to ensuring that what happened on July 13 never happens again.”

The committee has reportedly completed 12 interviews, reviewed roughly 2,800 documents, and conducted a walkthrough inspection at the Butler rally site, with additional interviews expected in the coming weeks.

Committee aides have not confirmed if the probe will expand or continue, looking into the second assassination attempt, which took place earlier this month at Trump’s West Palm Beach golf club. However, Attorney General Merrick Garland announced at a recent Justice Department event that the DOJ will “waste no resources” in the agency’s investigation of the second incident.

“We’ve put a lot of meat on the bones here, but we are a long way from getting the information we need,” stated Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), a member of the investigation subcommittee.

SEE: https://www.oann.com/newsroom/idaho-man-charged-after-threatening-to-kill-trump/; republished below in full, unedited, for informational, educational, & research purposes:

An Idaho man has been charged after threatening to kill Donald Trump in nearly a dozen phone calls to Mar-a-Lago, Trump’s estate.  

According to reports, 64-year-old Warren Jones Crazybull is accused of making at least nine menacing calls to Trump’s resort in Palm Beach on July 31st. 

“Find Trump … I am coming down to Bedminster tomorrow. I am going to take him down personally and kill him,” Crazybull is alleged to have said in one call, referring to Trump’s property in New Jersey. 

The court filing stated that Mar-a-Lago security personnel had informed the U.S. Secret Service that eight follow-up calls conveying threats against Trump were received from the same phone number. 

On August 1st, Crazybull was taken into custody by the feds. 

He also allegedly made similar “concerning” threats on Facebook while using one of his many fake aliases. 

“I start driving to the home of this multi-person rapist PIG TRUMP to take him down single combat,” one post from July 31st purportedly read.

“I’m coming for you Trump,” another stated. 

His social media posts also referenced Jeffrey Epstein, JFK, and the “machinations of a shadow government.” 

His arrest came weeks before 58-year-old Ryan Routh camped out for 12 hours in order to assassinate the former president at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach.  

Crazybull was indicted on August 20th in federal court in Idaho, where he pleaded not guilty to one count of making threats against the former president.

His trial is set for October 28th.

The son of 58-year-old Ryan Routh, the man accused of attempting to carry out a second assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, has been charged with possession of child pornography. 

On Tuesday, Oran Alexander Routh was taken into custody on two federal charges, one count of receipt of child pornography and one count of possession of child pornography.

Oran Routh’s age is unknown.

However, authorities say that the man, who has also expressed hatred towards Trump, is similar to his father, possessed “hundreds of child pornography files,” NBC News reported.

The son previously admitted to police that his 58-year-old father did indeed despise Trump “as any reasonable person would” after the U.S. Secret Service arrested Ryan Routh on September 15th.

According to investigators, they found the “hundreds” of child pornography files while searching Oran’s residence during a separate investigation that was unrelated to child exploitation. 

“Investigators who seized multiple electronic devices found videos sent to Oran Routh in July as well as chats from a messaging application commonly used by people who share child sexual abuse material, the FBI agent said,” according to CBS News.

Many of the illicit files were found on a Samsung Galaxy Note device inside Oran’s bedroom. 

“These files include videos from a known child pornography series created outside the state of North Carolina,” court documents state. “Videos from the series depict minors engaged in sex acts.” 

The complaint included graphic descriptions of videos of minors “approximately 6 to 8-years-old” as well as “12 to 14-years-old” engaged in sex acts, and a chat from a messaging application in July, where he purportedly asked for a preview of the illicit content for sale.

On September 15th, his father pushed his AK-47 rifle’s muzzle through a hole in a chain-link fence between 300 and 500 yards away from the former president. One hole ahead of Trump on the golf course, a Secret Service agent noticed a gun poking through the fence, so the agent immediately opened fire at 58-year-old Routh.

According to police, Ryan was equipped with a GoPro camera, bags, food supplies, and a scope on his rifle to record the incident. After escaping the area, the suspect was then apprehended shortly after on I-95. Last week, he was charged with two federal firearm crimes: possessing a firearm despite being a convicted felon, and possessing a firearm with an obliterated serial number.

Charges against the Gold Star father, who was arrested after harassing President Joe Biden during his State of the Union address, have been dropped. 

“A Gold Star Family is the immediate family member(s) of a fallen service member who died while serving in a time of conflict,” according to hopeforthewarriors.org.

Attorney General Brian Schwalb (D-D.C.) withdrew charges against the Gold Star father, who was detained after heckling President Biden during his State of the Union address on Tuesday, Republican lawmakers confirmed.

Representative Brian Mast (R-Fla.) told Fox News on Tuesday night that House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) assisted in getting the charges against Steven Nikoui, 51, dropped for protesting during Biden’s speech. He was protesting in response to an earlier pleading from Representative Darrell Issa (R-Calif.).

“Though he interrupted the event, what Mr. Nikoui voiced out loud was a cry for the acknowledgment of the loss endured by the families of the 13 who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country,” Issa wrote in a letter to Capitol Police chief Thomas Manger on Tuesday.

Nikoui was taken into custody by U.S. Capitol Police after he yelled “Abby Gate!” and “Second Battalion, First Marines!” during Biden’s speech.

At a Capitol Hill hearing on the withdrawal from Afghanistan on Tuesday, he informed reporters that he remained charged despite calls from Mast, Issa, and Rep. Mike Waltz (R-Fla.) to have the case dismissed.

On August 26th, 2021, an ISIS suicide bomber outside Hamid Karzai International Airport killed 13 U.S. service members, including Nikoui’s son, Marine Lance Cpl. Kareem Nikoui.

According to Fox News, the District of Columbia Attorney General’s office defended its decision not to prosecute Nikoui by citing instances of previous protesters who were not charged.

Although Nikoui claims he had no intention of interrupting Biden, he grew irritated when the president only brought up the death of Georgia nursing student Laken Riley, rather than his son or the other twelve U.S. service members who perished in the Abbey Gate explosion. 

“I’ve waited three years, I paid $3,000, and I’ve traveled 3,000 miles to finally hear my son’s name in the State of the Union,” he told DailyMail.com. “That trip to the State of the Union—wwhat a kick in my ass.”

Nikoui had been charged with “crowding, obstructing, [and] incommoding Congress,” which is a misdemeanor that typically results in release after paying a $50 fine.

U.S. Army Intelligence Analyst Charged With Selling Military Secrets To China

Sergeant Korbein Schultz was arrested on Thursday by the Department of Justice at Fort Campbell in Kentucky.

A federal grand jury indicted the 24-year-old on six counts, including charges of “conspiracy to obtain and disclose national defense information, exporting technical data related to defense articles without a license, conspiracy to export defense articles without a license, and bribery of a public official.”

The indictment alleges that from June 2022 up until the time of his arrest, Shultz conspired with an individual based in Hong Kong, identified as “Conspirator A,” in order to disclose “documents, plans, wiring, photographs, maps, and notes” related to national defense information.

Prosecutors also noted that Conspirator A recruited Schultz to gather a variety of some of the most sensitive military documents.

“Specifically, Conspirator A tasked Schultz with gathering information related to a variety of U.S. military weapons systems, including classified information, and information related to the United States’ potential plans in the event that Taiwan came under military attack,” a press release stated on the arrest.

“This included documents and info related to advanced fighter aircraft, advanced military helicopters, intercontinental ballistic missiles, high mobility artillery rocket systems, defensive missile systems and Chinese military tactics,” said attorney Henry Leventis.

Conspirator A sent at least 14 payments to Schultz, which totaled an estimated $42,000.

Schultz joined the army back in 2018. He had been working as an army intelligence analyst with the First Battalion of the 506th Infantry Regiment at Fort Campbell before his arrest. Prosecutors also said that he had a “top secret security clearance.”

He is scheduled to make his first appearance in a Tennessee court on Friday.

Schultz’s arrest comes after another Air Force member was charged with transmitting classified information regarding the Russia-Ukraine war to a woman on a dating website who claimed to reside in Ukraine. 63-year-old David Slater was arrested on Saturday. Prosecutors said that from February to April of 2022, Slater was asked to provide classified national defense information to an unnamed woman who referred to him as her “secret informant love” over email.

Meanwhile, on Monday, 22-year-old former Air National Guardsman Jack Teixeira was similarly accused of leaking highly classified Pentagon documents. He pleaded guilty to six counts. He will serve up to nearly 17 years in prison, but no less than 11, followed by three years of supervision.
