A 37-year-old Memphis-area man, Kyl Alton Hall, has been charged with making threats against President Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and former President Obama, the Justice Department announced on Friday. Hall allegedly posted on social media several times last month, threatening to shoot, kill, and assassinate the political figures.
Hall was federally indicted on Tuesday and charged with two counts of threats to a sitting president and vice president, as well as one count of a threat to a former president. He was arrested and booked in Mississippi on July 30 by the Southaven Police Department. If found guilty, he could face up to five years in prison on each count.
This incident comes in the wake of an Arizona man being arrested for threatening to kill former President Trump, as well as a recent attempted assassination attempt on Trump himself at a rally in Pennsylvania. Multiple U.S. Secret Service agents have been placed on leave as the investigation into the failed assassination attempt continues.
Fox News Digital has reached out to the DeSoto County Sheriff’s Office and the Justice Department for comment on the charges against Hall. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
