Federal agents have arrested a 29-year-old man they say threatened to decapitate President Donald Trump‘s youngest son, Barron. Officials say Michael Kovco, of Chicago, also said he intended to assassinate the elder Trump and “hunt” a Secret Service agent who tried to stop him. “I’m going to take a serrated knife and saw Barron Trump‘s head off after I successfully stake out the president of the United States with a high-caliber sniper rifle permanently aimed at the White House Lawn,” Kovco allegedly wrote in a form on the White House’s website, according to a criminal complaint. Investigators say Kovco made clear his deranged threats against Barron, 20, and the president, 79, were no joke. “I have absolutely every intent of plotting and carrying out an active assassination attempt against the President of the United States of America,” he allegedly wrote. “This is a serious threat.” Kovco was arrested on April 3 and has been charged with transmitting a threat in interstate commerce. Kovco allegedly told investigators that he was prescribed medication, but has not been taking it. He added that he is unemployed and has little money, according to the complaint.
