For months, Craig Robertson had been making threats against high-profile Democrats, including key players in the legal proceedings against former President Donald Trump, Vice President Kamala Harris and President Joe Biden.
Law enforcement investigate the scene of a shooting involving the FBI on Aug. 9, 2023, in Provo, Utah. The Utah man accused of making violent threats against President Joe Biden before a western states trip last week pointed a handgun at FBI agents attempting to arrest him, the agency said on Monday, Aug. 14, 2023.
Two law enforcement sources — who spoke to The Associated Press last week on the condition of anonymity to discuss details of an ongoing investigation — said Robertson was armed at the time of the shooting. Monday’s statement provides additional details about Robertson’s weapon and that he pointed it at officers. The FBI did not respond to questions about whether Robertson shot at agents or if agents were wearing body cameras while attempting to arrest Robertson.
Several neighbors said Robertson — a homebound, overweight man who used a cane to walk — wasn’t shy about his right-wing political beliefs. But they questioned whether he posed a credible enough threat to the president to justify the raid.
