Alabama man Adam Benjamin Hall, 23, was arrested and appeared in court today, Jan. 29, for traveling in interstate commerce with the intent to kill President Joe Biden on June 27, 2024. Hall allegedly drove from Alabama to Atlanta with the intention to sneak into the presidential debate hosted by CNN that same evening to kill the then-President.
“Threats against the President are gravely serious and must be treated as such,” said U.S. Attorney Theodore S. Hertzberg. “Hall’s alleged actions went beyond mere words and included traveling to Georgia with a firearm to murder President Biden. Political violence is never acceptable and must be countered by swift intervention and meaningful consequences.” According to Hertzberg, other information presented in court say that a screenshot of a map was found on Hall's phone that had location markers indicating that the phone and Hall were three blocks from the debate site about half an hour before the debate's scheduled start time. Hall's phone also allegedly contained notes for his “exposé” or “manifesto,” which were addressed to "all the Palestinian journalists and in remembrance of the ones who lost their lives along the way."“Hopefully my actions snap you all awake long enough to thoroughly understand the point I will make in this exposé.”“It’s time we overthrow these bastards and threaten to pull a f--king D-Day on Tel Aviv . . . .” “On the week of July 4th, forget your f--king barbecues and pool parties. Instead do the patriotic thing by marching on Capitol Hill, the White House, and the Supreme Court armed with whatever you have . . . . Unless the feds shoot first, you must not engage. If they are unwilling to comply after a few hours, then I permit you to march into those buildings and do what is necessary to regain control of our country from the deep state.” Hall's manifesto concluded with "Free Palestine" next to the emoji of the Palestine Liberation Organization and Palestinian Authority flag. “Our highest priority is protecting the President of the United States, and every potential threat is treated with the utmost seriousness,” said Acting Special Agent in Charge Robert Donovan of the U.S. Secret Service, Atlanta Field Office. “Our agents, working in close coordination with prosecutors from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Georgia, worked tirelessly to advance this investigation. Hall’s arrest is representative of the effectiveness of our combined efforts to safeguard our nation’s leadership.” Hall is from Crane Hill, AL, and was charged by a criminal complaint with interstate stalking on Monday, Jan. 26. He appeared in federal court today before U.S. Magistrate Judge Staci G. Cornelius. Notwithstanding Hall's arrest, the investigation is still ongoing and additional charges may be filed at a later date. Officials would like the public to remember that the charges levied against Hall are still only charges and that the defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. It is the government's burden to prove the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt at trial. The case is being investigated by the U.S. Secret Service.
