In the federal criminal complaint filed against Craig Robertson, an FBI agent details a tip 'from a social media company' reported to be Truth Social.
PROVO — It was Truth Social, the social media company created by Trump Media & Technology Group, that tipped off the FBI to threatening posts made by Craig Robertson, the man killed in an early morning raid in Provo on Wednesday.
The tip came through the FBI National Threat Operations Center, according to the complaint. Though the complaint does not name the social media company, referring to it as "Company-1," it does show a screenshot of the threat that depicts several characteristics unique to Truth Social, the social media platform where former President Donald Trump often communicates with the public.
"Heading to New York to fulfill my dream of iradicating another of George Soros two-but political hach DAs. I'll be waiting in the courthouse parking garage with my suppressed Smith & Wesson M&P 9mm to smoke a radical fool prosecutor that should never have been elected," Robertson wrote on March 18, 2023, according to the images in the complaint.
The investigation continued, and Robertson was charged the day before the raid with making interstate threats, making threats against federal law enforcement and making threats against the president.
