 Agents of the Federal Bureau of Intelligence FBI have killed Craig Deleeuw Robertson, the man accused of making threats against U.S. President, Joe Biden.

Robertson had on Monday posted that having learnt Biden was coming to Utah, he will dig out a camouflage suit and “clean the dust off the m24 sniper rifle.”

Investigators said in court records that his assertion implies that he owns a long-range sniper rifle and numerous other weapons, as well as camouflage gear known as a “ghillie suit”.

Court documents also states that Robertson in his post also made a reference to a “presidential assassination” while making other threats against Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland and New York Attorney General Letitia James.

“The time is right for a presidential assassination or two. First Joe then Kamala!!!” authorities allege Robertson wrote in a September 2022 Facebook post included in the filings.

 Robertson had no attorney listed on his behalf in court documents, with the FBI currently reviewing the shooting that led to his demise.
