   > PHOENIX –David Michael Hanson, 41, of Phoenix, was arrested on Wednesday   
   > for making online threats against the President and Vice-President.   
   > Hanson was charged by Federal criminal complaint on Tuesday with five   
   > counts of Threats Against the President and Successors to the Presidency   
   > and five counts of Interstate Communication of Threats.   
   >   
   > The complaint alleges that in November and December of 2023, while   
   > living in Arizona, Hanson used a social media platform to post threats   
   > to murder the President and Vice President of the United States. On   
   > November 19, 2023, Hanson posted online a series of threatening   
   > statements including one that stated, “#joeAndKamala I’m asking you to   
   > resign on Monday your alternative is death brutally murdered.” After the   
   > U.S. Secret Service spoke to Hanson and warned him that it was a Federal   
   > crime to post such threats, on December 23, 2023, Hanson posted another   
   > series of similar threats aimed at the President and Vice-President.   
   >   
   > Each count of Threats Against the President and Successors to the   
   > Presidency carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison, a fine of   
   > up to $250,000, and up to three years of supervised release. Each count   
   > of Interstate Communication of Threats carries a maximum sentence of   
   > five years in prison, a fine of up to $250,000, and up to three years of   
   > supervised release.   
   >   
   > A complaint is simply a method by which a person is charged with   
   > criminal activity and raises no inference of guilt. An individual is   
   > presumed innocent until evidence is presented to a jury that establishes   
   > guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.   
   >   
   > The United States Secret Service is conducting the investigation in this   
   > case. The United States Attorney’s Office, District of Arizona, is
