'I'll kill him': Convicted man back in custody after threatening Trump, then demanding pardon

An Oregon man is back in police custody after threatening to "kill the president" in a slew of text messages to his probation officer.

In a June 2024 call to the Secret Service, Holgate said, "I have the right to kill the president."

"I will kill everyone," Holgate said, according to the federal indictment. "The president is going to die. I don't care if it is Trump or Biden. I will hang everyone for treason."

Two months later, Holgate called the field office again, threatening to "hang his a** for treason" and saying that no one was safe from him, including the First Lady and Supreme Court justices.

Holgate was released from custody on January 21 and was ordered to live in a halfway house.

Holgate sent his probation officer several text messages that included "Trump's gonna fkn pardon me or I'll kill him!!!!"

"You're with me or You're a traitor & infidel that's taken the Mark of the beast. & Hell? That won't last forever. Second death. You'll be erased," Holgate wrote in another message to his probation officer.

Holgate will remain in custody until his next hearing is scheduled on March 26.
