FBI Director Kash Patel announced Tuesday the arrest of Peter Stinson, a Virginia resident and former U.S. Coast Guard lieutenant, who has been charged with making threats to assassinate President Donald Trump, according to court documents obtained by Fox News. Stinson served in the Coast Guard from 1988 to 2021, during which he was a sharpshooter and a FEMA instructor.

An affidavit unsealed Friday revealed that some of Stinson’s threats draw disturbing parallels between an attack on Trump and the targeted murder of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson by Luigi Mangione.

On social media, Stinson posted on May 9 that Trump needed to be “[L]uigied,” while other posts suggested he was considering using guns, poison, or knives to carry out a more effective assassination plot. At one point, Stinson told another user that he lacks the “necessary skills” to get away with killing Trump, according to the New York Post.

Prosecutors also highlighted Stinson’s obsession with the number 8647—the same figure previously shared and later deleted by former FBI Director James Comey. FBI Director Patel blamed Comey for inspiring Stinson’s violent intentions toward the president.

“This is a guy who threatened President Trump’s life using the ’86 47? language — the exact kind of copy cat law enforcement is now frequently dealing with after former Director Comey’s destructive Instagram debacle,” Patel wrote on X.

Prosecutors wrote in the affidavit that Stinson’s suggestion to “8647” President Trump is “likely in reference to an Instagram post made by former FBI Director James Comey.”
