Summary:

  • A man who had made violent threats against President Biden and a prosecutor was shot dead by FBI agents during an arrest attempt.
  • The suspect, Craig Robinson, had posted threats on Facebook and resisted the agents' entry, resulting in a confrontation where he allegedly threatened an agent's life with a weapon.
  • The incident underscores the complexities of assessing threats in a politically charged environment with easy access to firearms.


A man who posted violent threats against President Joe Biden and other officials online has been shot dead during an FBI raid. Agents were attempting to serve an arrest warrant on Craig Robinson at his home in Utah, just hours ahead of a planned visit to the state by Biden.


The suspect, Craig Robinson, had posted threats on Facebook targeting both President Biden and a prosecutor pursuing criminal charges against former President Donald Trump. The incident unfolded when FBI agents arrived at Robinson's residence armed with both an arrest and a search warrant. Robinson, known for his aggressive rhetoric and public display of firearms, reportedly resisted the agents' entry, leading to a confrontation where he allegedly threatened an agent's life with a weapon. As a result, the agents responded with lethal force, ultimately resulting in Robinson's death.


While the FBI has not disclosed further details about the incident, the case highlights the challenges law enforcement faces in assessing threats in an era of heightened political tension and increased access to weapons.

Ukraine War: Is the defence of Bakhmut a distraction?

Ukraine War: Is the defence of Bakhmut a distraction? I'm joined now by the former senior military intelligence officer, Philip Ingram. Good to see you again, Philip. Now, of course, Russian forces have made some advances in recent days in Bakhmut, but on the whole, there's been very little movement on the front line in recent weeks and months. Why is that? Yeah, well, exactly. Day 374 of Vladimir Putin's 10-day Special Military Operation. And the Russians, we keep talking about this spring offensive. They're probing the front lines in different places. Bakhmut will more detail that in a moment, but further north, up around Kramina and in the south, around Donetsk, they're trying to see where their weakness is in the Ukrainian defences. And they're not really finding any. The things that are influencing at the moment, the weather, the ground is softening up. ...

Why the world was wrong about Putin | Analysis People are packing up in their cars. They're getting out of here. A few days before I found myself standing there on the edge of Kharkiv, watching those first tank shells hit into the apartment blocks in Saltyvka, my editor, Louis Emmanuel, had asked me to come up with something to be published on the day of the war, if the war began, explaining to readers why this was happening. And I was hoping it would never be published. It was, and the answer I came up with was, probably in the simple balance of power. I quote it, Russia's military is at its strongest and most capable since the Cold War. Its public finances are also in good order, and Mr Putin may believe he is well placed to bear the costs of the conflict and inevitable sanctions. We'll come back to that in a second. The West is conversely at a moment of historic econo...

Ukraine War: What missiles have Russia fired?

Ukraine War: What missiles have Russia fired? I mean, he caveated his remarks so that he wasn't departing from the official government line, which is that Ukraine makes the calls here when Ukraine's ready, then Ukraine may negotiate. But the fact that he, that comment we were taking out of context, and people will say that Rishi Sunak believes that there has to be a negotiation at, so at what point are we going to lean on the Ukrainians to negotiate? And I think that in Kiev, I think it won't be very, they won't welcome the fact that he said it. It's also, it's just not true that all wars end at the negotiating table. It's a line we've heard from the beginning, right from the start. People should read a book occasionally. The Second World War did not end in negotiation. One of yours perhaps. Yes. The First World War did not end in a meaningful negotia...
