From the Daily Wire:
A Maryland man is facing attempted murder charges after authorities say he attempted to kill Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought at his home in Northern Virginia.
Arlington County Police arrested Colin Demarco, 26, on January 22. Demarco said that he feared a “fascist takeover” of the country under the Trump administration and that he was writing a manifesto and instructions on topics such as “Body Disposal Guide,” according to court documents reviewed by CBS News.
Charging documents say that Demarco planned to kill someone with the initials “R.V.” who “has served as a presidential appointee.” A source familiar with the case later confirmed to CBS News that Vought was the intended target.
Demarco reportedly visited visited Director Vought’s home last year, being caught on a Ring doorbell camera on August 10. According to the Daily Wire, he was charged with attempted murder, carrying a firearm without a permit, and unlawfully wearing a mask.
The Daily Wire notes that Director Vought has faced numerous death threats, though he isn’t the only member of the Trump administration that has faced violence. President Trump himself survived two assassination attempts in 2024 while still a candidate. Vice President JD Vance also faced an attack on his family’s home. All in all, it is clear that our leaders are under attack and need our prayers.
Let’s pray for the protection not just of those in the Trump administration, but of every leader in positions of authority across the nation!
