The man is also accused of sending money to an individual aligned with a Hamas faction which has carried out attacks against civilians in Israel.
Jonathan Xie made social media posts threatening to not only bomb Trump Tower, but to also shoot people at a pro-Israel demonstration.
“Homegrown violent extremists like Xie are a serious threat to national security,” US Attorney Craig Carpenito said in a statement. “The actions that he took and planned to take made that threat both clear and present.” That same month Xie was spotted outside of Trump Tower, headquarters of the businesses owned by US President Donald Trump. He later posted photos of the building on Instagram along with a poll asking if he should bomb it.
