The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) said 52-year-old Robert Herrera commented on a San Antonio news outlet’s social media post on Trump’s planned visit to the Texas Hill Country.

“Using the handle, ‘Robert Herrer,’ Herrera allegedly commented, ‘I won’t miss,’ along with a photo depicting President Trump surrounded by U.S. Secret Service agents immediately after the July 13, 2024, assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania,” the Justice Department said.

DOJ said Herrera was arrested the same day and faces a federal charge of making threats against the President and interstate threatening communications.

If convicted, Herrera could be sentenced up to five years in prison for each charge.

The DOJ said the U.S. Secret Service, FBI and San Antonio Police Department were investigating the case with assistance from the Texas Department of Public Safety.
