A New York man was charged for saying he would kidnap and kill former President Donald Trump and threatened the lives of a dozen members of Congress.
Thomas Welnicki, 71 years old, of Rockaway Beach, N.Y., made his threats in voice messages, phone calls and interviews with federal agents before and after the 2020 presidential election, according to a criminal complaint unsealed Monday and filed in the U.S. District Court in Brooklyn.
In one voluntary interview with the U.S. Capitol Police in July 2020, he told officials that he would “acquire weapons” and “take him down” if Mr. Trump refused to leave office if he lost the 2020 election, according to the complaint.
During that July 2020 interview, he told Capitol Police he could easily acquire firearms, according to the complaint. “I don’t want to hurt anyone, but I will stand up to fascism,” Mr. Welnicki allegedly told Capitol Police, according to the complaint.
In voice-mail messages left with the U.S. Secret Service, Mr. Welnicki again threatened the life of Mr. Trump as well as 12 unnamed members of Congress, according to the complaint.
Mr. Welnicki also placed several phone calls to the Secret Service where he identified himself by name, federal prosecutors said. In one of those calls, he repeatedly referred to Mr. Trump as “Hitler” and said, “I will do everything I can to make sure [Individual-1] is dead,” according to the complaint.
The federal complaint doesn’t identify Mr. Trump by name but a footnote said Individual-1 served as president until Jan. 20, 2021.
Mr. Trump’s office didn’t return a request for comment.
Mr. Welnicki on Monday was released on a $50,000 bond and was subject to GPS monitoring. He must undergo alcohol and mental-health evaluations. An attorney for Mr. Welnicki didn’t immediately return a request for comment.
Last year, a Connecticut man was sentenced to nine years in prison for threatening to kill Mr. Trump.

Fascist? He thinks Trump was a fascist? I believe it is Biden who is one. Biden wants to control us and tell us what to do. Trump never did that, he tried to do what was best for the American people instead of other countries. This guy must have a few screws loose.
Look up Edward Bernays. Progressive phycologist from WWI. He used China’s brainwashing techniques on the USA and it works easier than you think.
The only thing that is 71 year old communist piece of s*** can do is kidnap his dentures in a glass by the sink,he’s one of the fossil f#@ks that will be beaten to death by We the People for treason, in supporting communism in the last free country.
Old hippies never die!!!!!
lol
I’m guessing the guy’s a Democrat? If he wants Biden to take his pension, then by all means Biden will. Once this man is in a bread line he’ll start to rethink everything really quick! Trump made us BETTER but Biden’s made us WORSE and a LAUGHINGSTOCK OF THE WORLD!
how did Trump make better?By sending people to lawmakers,and by preaching the big lie
Thomas welnicki ….. proof that once a democrat…..always a democrat!!!
Remember, if you’re still a democrat when you’re old, then you don’t have a brain.
