GREAT BARRINGTON, MASS. (WHDH) - A Great Barrington man is facing federal charges after he was accused of threatening to kill President Donald Trump.
Andrew Emerald, 45, was arrested Wednesday morning.
In May 2025, federal prosecutors say Emerald posted a threat on Facebook, writing in part, “When I see to it that Trump is put to death, it will be the day the purpose creation put me here for beyond creating.”
A week later, officials said he posted, “either Trump is dead and in the ground by 2026 or I am hunting him down and putting him there.”
Two weeks later, prosecutors said the man posted another threat, writing, “I burned a house to the ground once in my life on accident, when I burn you to the ground, it will very much be by intention, and I will revel in it instead of regret it for the rest of my life.”
