FBI Fatally Shoots Man Who Threatened President Biden in Utah Raid

A man identified as Craig Deleeuw Robertson, who had allegedly issued online threats against President Joe Biden and other prominent public figures, was fatally shot by the FBI during the execution of a search warrant in Provo, Utah.

The incident unfolded at approximately 6:15 am on August 9, 2023, as FBI special agents were attempting to serve arrest and search warrants at Robertson’s residence. The confrontation turned into a gunfight, leading to the suspect’s demise. None of the agents involved in the operation sustained injuries.

Craig Deleeuw Robertson had reportedly posted threats targeting various politicians and figures, including President Biden and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. The nature of these threats raised alarm, prompting law enforcement to take swift action.

The confrontation had its origins in Robertson’s online posts, where he implicated himself in a plot allegedly associated with political puppetry and assassination plans. Authorities became increasingly concerned about the potential danger he posed, which led to the execution of the search warrant.

President Biden was promptly briefed about the FBI’s operation, coinciding with his planned visit to Utah for a veterans’ healthcare event. The White House referred inquiries to the Justice Department as they monitored the situation closely.

Charging documents disclosed the disturbing content of Robertson’s online threats, particularly his reference to Biden’s Utah visit and his preparations involving camouflage and a sniper rifle. These details were part of a criminal complaint filed in the US District Court in Utah, outlining the suspect’s menacing online behavior and providing evidence of his intent to cause harm to public officials.

The complaint further unveiled visual evidence, showcasing Robertson in possession of a long-range rifle and donned in a ghillie suit, a form of specialized camouflage attire. The incident underscores the ongoing challenges posed by online threats and the imperative role of law enforcement in ensuring public safety.
