Secret Service threat to murder TrumpOn Tuesday, we reported that a Twitter account issued threats to murder President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence.  The same day, Arizona’s 12News reported that the Secret Service is investigating the threat, which appears to have originated in Chandler.

According to 12News:

The Chandler police said Tuesday that the Secret Service is investigating a threat against President Donald Trump that originated in Chandler.

The reported threat was made in a tweet, police say, that featured two rifles and mentioned killing the president and vice president.

Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?

Chandler PD thanked everyone who reported the threat and said the Secret Service is aware of the threats.
