Georgia Man Charged with Death Threats Against Ex-Trump Officials Noem and Bondi
A Georgia man faces multiple federal charges after prosecutors accused him of posting gruesome death threats on X against two former Trump administration officials, including ex-Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and former Attorney General Pam Bondi.
Elliott Owen Schroer allegedly published a series of graphic messages around April 3 describing how he would physically assault, kidnap or kill the former officials, according to federal court documents filed Tuesday in the Northern District of Georgia’s Gainesville Division.
Schroer, whose age was not released, is from Georgia, according to Law & Crime.
"The defendant, Elliott Owen Schroer, consciously disregarded a substantial risk that his communication would be viewed as threatening violence," the document stated.
Prosecutors alleged Schroer directed a barrage of disturbing threats at Noem, including "I will stab your eyes out with a dull knife."
"I will blow your esophagus out the back of your neck with a 12-gauge slug," he added, according to the allegations.
"We will put your head on a stake."
Authorities noted that the threats were not limited to those posts referenced in the indictment.
Schroer also allegedly posted a separate threatening message at Bondi: "Were going to kill you Pam."
Prosecutors said the posts were intended to retaliate against Noem and Bondi over the performance of their official duties while in office.
The four-count indictment includes two counts of interstate communication of threats and two counts of making threats against former government officials.
U.S. Attorney Theodore S. Hertzberg and Assistant Attorney Jennifer Keen are prosecuting the case for the federal government.
