A Pennsylvania man was arrested for allegedly making threats against President Trump and an unidentified Congress member.

“Raymond Eugene Chandler III, of Wilkinsburg, was arrested and charged after a federal investigation into repeated threats made over voicemail,” Daily Voice reports.

“Reportedly, he left multiple voicemails threatening to kill not only President Trump, but his opponent John Fetterman’s 13-year-old daughter,” Mario Nawfal wrote.

“This morning, FBI Pittsburgh and the U.S. Secret Service arrested Raymond Chandler for threatening to kill federal officials, including President Trump and a member of Congress. The FBI will not tolerate threats of violence and will work tirelessly to protect public officials and all members of our communities. This arrest is a great example of our work with our law enforcement partners at the USSS, the U.S Capitol Police and the United States Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Pennsylvania,” the FBI said in a statement, according to WTAE.

Daily Voice shared further:

Chandler is charged with influencing, impeding, or retaliating against a federal official by threatening a family member and by threat, according to the affidavit.

The criminal complaint, unsealed in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, alleges Chandler left multiple messages targeting an unnamed member of Congress and President Trump between April 2025 and April 2026.

According to WTAE, court documents state Chandler left the following voicemail to the Congress member on April 18:

WARNING – EXTREMELY GRAPHIC

“Sir, I have, uh, I’m calling this morning ’cause I want you to imagine a scenario. I want you to imagine a scenario where all the 1,200 billionaires in this country, all their properties are surrounded simultaneously by a thousand people. So imagine your house, your daughter’s house, everyone you know and love who is also rich. Imagine every single one of those homes being surrounded by a thousand people. Then imagine them all getting a text and then, then suddenly taking out their pocket knives, walking slowly towards your house with 10, you got your 10 guards or whatever against a thousand people, and then they come and they pull you out of your house and they slit your throat and they slit your daughter’s throat and they slit everyone’s throat. That you know, sir, that is the future. It’s not a future I want, it’s not a future I’m advocating for, but wealth concentration has gotten so bad in this country. The greed has gotten so bad. People are suffering so much, sir, that that is what is in our future. You will not escape their wrath. We must redistribute the wealth away from people like you.”

Chandler allegedly left another voicemail to the Congress member and court documents stated that he threatened Trump.

WTAE has more:

During that voicemail, Chandler told the Congress member he wanted them to walk into the Oval Office with a gun and assassinate the president.

“You’ve probably getting quite used to my voice. Sir, I’m calling this evening because what I want you to do is I want you to take a firearm. I want you to put it in your hand. I want you to walk into the Oval Office. I want you to put that firearm to the President’s head, and I want you to pull the trigger and I want you to kill him. I am petitioning you, Senator for redress of grievances. My redress of grievances is that this president is awful . . . He’s a liar among all liars. He’s a great deceiver. He’s the antichrist. I want you to walk into the Oval Office with a gun in your hand. I want you to put it to his temple, and I want you to pull the trigger. That is what I want you to do as my agent. That’s what I want you to do as my elected official. That’s what I am petitioning you to do with my free speech. I want you to kill the President. I want you to assassinate the President. That’s what I want you to do. Now, Senator, are you gonna come after me? Are you going to try me because of my voice and what I said?”

Chandler allegedly left multiple voicemails between April 18, 2025 and through the final voice mail message on April 29, 2025.

Court documents said other messages Chandler left included support for armed resistance against ICE, wanting to build gallows to hang the Congress member, and telling the Congress member that he bought a combat knife because he feared the government would kill him.
