The Secret Service has arrested 19 year old Michael Sandford for attempting to assassinate Donald Trump.  He was originally arrested for trying to disarm a policeman at the Trump rally in Las Vegas.  But during questioning Sandford admitted the reason he wanted the gun was to use it to assassinate Donald Trump.  he had been practicing his shooting at a gun range and he also told agents that if he couldn’t make the attempt in Las Vegas, he planned on going to Phoenix, Arizona in order to kill the presumptive republican nominee.  He has not been charged with attempted assassination, but the Secret Service said there would be more charges to come.

Sandford had started a conversation with a policeman at the rally, telling him he wanted an autograph and as they were talking, Sandford tried to take the officer’s gun away.  He was unable to get possession of the gun and the officer took him into custody and he was turned over to the Secret Service.

From CNN:

Sanford told police that he drove to Las Vegas from California “to kill Trump,” according to the complaint, after hearing a few days earlier in the news that he was expected there. On June 17, he practiced shooting a gun for the first time at a gun range in Las Vegas.
“Sanford further stated that if he were on the street tomorrow, he would try this again,” reads the complaint, obtained by CNN. “Sandford claimed he had been planning to kill Trump for about a year but decided to act on this occasion because he finally felt confident about trying it.”
He is expected to make his initial appearance in front of U.S. District Court Magistrate Judge George Foley at 6 p.m. ET Monday, according to a U.S. Attorney’s office spokesperson.
Many of Trump’s rallies have attracted DRDTs.  (Domestic Radical Domestic Terrorists)
