Man Who Threatened Trump Is Released With Free SDNY Lawyer Despite Substantial Assets

By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Maxwell Book
BBC - Guardian UK - Honduras - ESPN

SDNY MAG COURT EXCLUSIVE, August 8 -  In the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on August 8, a detention or release proceeding was held by Magistrate Judge Robert W. Lehrburger on a defendant, Peter Schleger, charged with making threats against former US President Donald Trump.

He emailed DOJ that "if you can't unsubscribe me I will blow up a school, shoot Trump, shoot Garland, shoot you."

Schleger was interviewed and said he "believes that former President Trump is trying to get his supporters into political office so that they can claim that former President Trump won the 2020 election."  Complaint on Inner City Press' DocumentCloud here.

  He was released the same day, on $50,000 bond. Inner City Press was there.

  Notably, the defendant was said to have substantial assets - an estate - and a friend or romantic connection in Colombia. He nevertheless got and has a taxpayer funded Federal Defender.

  Judge Lehrburger told him he would be released but should turn in his passport and find one financial responsible person to co-sign at a date in the future.

  He was told not to go near Trump Tower or other Trump properties, with golf courses the example given. He was said to be 78 years old, wearing a tucked-in green polo shirt. The US Marshals had a clear plastic bag with his belongings, including multiple medication bottles. The Complaint says he has a fatal heart condition.  Inner City Press, the only media in the SDNY Magistrates Court, will have more on this exclusive.

The case is US v. Schleger, 22-mj-6442 (Lehrburger)
