A teenager arrested for killing his parents was planning to assassinate US President Donald Trump, ABC reports.
Nikita Kasal, 17, of Wisconsin, killed his parents to “gain the financial means and independence necessary to assassinate President Donald Trump and overthrow the US government“, court documents say.
The teenager was arrested in March and charged with two counts of murder and concealment of bodies, as well as other charges.
Investigators believe the teenager may have been involved in a plot to attack Trump and use weapons of mass destruction. It was found that Kassap's phone contained Nazi-related materials and calls to assassinate the American president.
In 2024, two attempts were made to assassinate Trump - during his campaign speech in Pennsylvania on July 13, 2024, and on September 15 at Trump's golf club in Florida.
