A Wisconsin teen killed his parents so he could “obtain the financial means and autonomy necessary” to make an assassination attempt on President Donald Trump, a recently released federal affidavit reveals. According to the affidavit released by the FBI, Nikita Casap, 17, has been charged with the killing of his mother, Tatiana, 35, and stepfather, Donald Mayer, 51, in their home located in the city of Waukesha.
Wisconsin Teen Charged with Murder
Casap now faces two counts of first-degree murder, two counts of hiding a corpse, as well as theft charges, all related to his parents’ deaths. Other charges include theft of property over $10,000 and misappropriation ID to obtain money. Wisconsin officials say that the teen’s parents were fatally shot over two weeks ago.
“The charges are a result of meticulous investigation efforts emphasizing our dedication to community safety and justice,” the Waukesha County Sheriff said in a statement. Officials asked that anyone with any information on the murders contact authorities immediately.
Teen Planned Assassination Attempt
The affidavit says that officials have probable cause to believe the murders committed are linked to a bigger plan to assassinate Trump and “use weapons of mass destruction.” Mayer’s car was listed as stolen by authorities only after the bodies were discovered. The Wisconsin teen was arrested in a traffic stop just a few hours later.
Police Find Neo-Nazi Connection
When sheriffs executed a search warrant at Casap’s home, they found his phone and information related to the extremist Neo-Nazi group “The Order of Nine Angels.” They found text messages on his phone that were in Russian and documents discussing bomb-making and terrorist attacks. According to the affidavit, the Wisconsin teen had shared with a classmate that he had contacted an individual in Russia who was also part of a plot to kill Trump and overtake the U.S. government.
He Wanted To Bring Chaos To the Country
The document also reads that they discovered on Casap’s phone that he had written about killing Trump and bringing chaos to the country. “As to why, specifically Trump, I think it’s pretty obvious. By getting rid of the president and perhaps the vice president, that is guaranteed to bring in some chaos,” the document said.
Document Included Jewish Hate
The document showed that the Wisconsin teen accused Jewish people of promoting “white genocide and degeneracy; Jewish-occupied governments must fall,” the document said. It then added that the white “cannot survive unless America collapses.” His phone also had pictures of Adolf Hitler saved on it.
Wisconsin Teen Wrote Manifesto
Authorities also believe that the Wisconsin teen “appears to have written a manifesto calling for the assassination of the President of the United States. The teen was in touch with other parties about his plan to kill the President and overthrow the government of the United States.
“Other parties, with whom Casap was in contact, appear to have been aware of his plan and action and to have provided assistance to Casap in carrying them out,” according to the affidavit. “He was in touch with other parties about his plan to kill the President and overthrow the government of the United States,” the affidavit reads.
“He paid for, at least in part, a drone and explosives to be used as a weapon of mass destruction to commit an attack,” investigators said in the federal affidavit. Casap is now behind bars, and his bond has been set at $1 million. On April 9, he had a preliminary hearing but did not enter a plea. He will be arraigned sometime in May.
