The shocking grip of extremist ideologies continues to plague America as a disturbing plot to assassinate President Trump has been uncovered after a teen murdered his parents to fund the operation.
The FBI revealed that 17-year-old Nikita Casap, a member of a “satanic cult” with neo-Nazi connections, killed his parents to obtain money for his plan to attack the President and throw the nation into chaos.
Casap is charged with the murders of his mother, Tatiana Casap, and stepfather, Donald Mayer, who were both shot to death in their Waukesha, Wisconsin, home in February.
According to court documents, the teen lived with their decomposing bodies for weeks before fleeing with cash, passports, and the family dog.
Federal authorities stated that Casap murdered his parents to “obtain the financial means and autonomy necessary” to carry out his plot against Trump.
The teen now faces nine felony charges, including first-degree intentional homicide, hiding a corpse, theft, and misappropriating identification.
In addition, investigators discovered a chilling manifesto on Casap’s phone that detailed his extremist ideology and assassination plans.
The manifesto praised Adolf Hitler and called for the killing of Jewish politicians and billionaires. It also outlined his reasons for targeting President Trump.
“As to why, specifically Trump, I think it’s pretty obvious. By getting rid of the president and perhaps the vice president, that is guaranteed to bring in some chaos,” Casap wrote.
The FBI’s investigation revealed Casap’s association with The Order of Nine Angles, which authorities describe as a “satanic cult” with “strong anti-Judaism, anti-Christian, and anti-western ideologies.”
Court documents showed the group advocates violence to “save the white race” and contains messages praising Hitler.
Even more alarming, Casap purchased a drone and explosives for the planned attack and communicated with others about his intentions, including a Russian speaker, about plans to flee to Ukraine after assassinating the President.
The teen allegedly hoped his actions would “accelerate the collapse” of American society.
Meanwhile, authorities finally caught up with Casap in Kansas, where he was arrested with money, passports, a car, and the family dog.
The bodies of his parents were only discovered after concerned individuals requested a well-being check at their home on March 1, by which time they had been dead for weeks.
The disturbed teen is currently held on a $1 million bond and appeared in court on April 9 for a preliminary hearing.
His arraignment is scheduled for May 7, and federal authorities are pursuing additional charges, including conspiracy, presidential assassination, and use of weapons of mass destruction.
His public defender, Nicole Ostrowski, has moved to dismiss some charges citing his age and lack of evidence, saying, “He is young, he is still in high school.”
Still, the gravity of the allegations and evidence seized from his home and vehicle paint a picture of a radicalized teen determined to commit acts of extreme violence against America’s leaders.
