Trump assassination plot tied to ‘Satanic cult’: Report
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has alleged that a 17-year-old linked to a “Satanic cult” was plotting to assassinate President Donald Trump alongside accomplices in Ukraine and Russia.
A recent FBI affidavit claims that 17-year-old Nikita Casap, who has been charged with murdering his mother and stepfather, was plotting an assassination attempt against Trump.
According to The Daily Caller, court documents claim that Casap was in communication with contacts located in Ukraine and Russia regarding the procurement of weapons and other details related to an assassination plot against the 47th president. The outlet noted that following his arrest in February, the Department of Justice alleged that the 17-year-old murdered his parents after being influenced by a “nihilistic” ideology.
According to the FBI’s affidavit, the 17-year-old suspect was involved in a Satanic cult and Russian neo-Nazi organization called National Socialism/White Power. The FBI claimed that Casap had communicated with one individual “in Russian” and with another individual with a Ukrainian phone number regarding his plot to assassinate Trump and overthrow the U.S. government. The affidavit accuses Casap of allegedly talking with his contacts regarding the procurement of a drone that could “drop a bomb,” as well as plans to escape to Ukraine after assassinating the president.
According to WTMJ, Casap allegedly killed his mother and stepfather in February and lived with the two dead bodies for approximately two weeks prior to his arrest on February 28.

“He was in touch with other parties about his plan to kill the President and overthrow the government of the United States,” the FBI said. “And he paid for, at least in part, a drone and explosives to be used as a weapon of mass destruction to commit and attack. The killing of his parents appeared to be an effort to obtain the financial means and autonomy necessary to carrying out his plan.”
The FBI affidavit also claims that Casap was part of a “Satanic cult” called the Order of Nine Angles. According to the FBI, the cult “encourages violence, terrorism, sexual abuse, and child pornography” and promotes “anti-Judaic, anti-Christian, and anti-Western ideologies.”
Additionally, the FBI said Casap is part of a trend of individuals identified as “Nihilistic Violent Extremists (NVEs),” whose actions are linked to a “hatred of society at large and a desire to bring about its collapse by sowing indiscriminate chaos, destruction, and social instability.”
In a “manifesto” discovered by the FBI, Casap allegedly said, “By getting rid of the president and perhaps the vice president, that is guaranteed to bring in some chaos.” The 17-year-old allegedly added, “And not only that, but it will bring further into the public the idea that assassinations and accelerating the collapse are possible things to do.”
