‘Wear his face like a mask’: Trans activist arrested for threatening to kill President Trump
A transgender activist in the greater Seattle, Washington, area was arrested for threatening to kill President Trump.
20-year-old Phillip Wharton, a biological male who goes by “Sadie Online,” was indicted on Wednesday on two counts of threatening a federal official.
Last summer, the US Secret Service was alerted to Wharton’s threatening social media posts.
In one social media post, Wharton said he is going to kill Trump and wear his face “as a mask.”
In another post, Wharton said he will assassinate President Trump.
Investigators were able to link the Instagram and X accounts to Wharton and took him into custody in Everett, Washington.
King5 reported:
An Everett man has been indicted by a federal grand jury on charges he threatened to kill the president in a series of social media posts, according to court documents.
Phillip Richard Wharton, 20, is charged with two counts of threatening a federal official in the Western District of Washington.
The indictment was filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Seattle.
According to the indictment, the first alleged threat was posted Aug. 19, 2025, on a social media account along with a photograph and the text: “What the guy in the White House sees after I kill the US PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICAN AND WEAR HIS FACE AS A MASK.”
The second count stems from a Sept. 23, 2025 post that read: “My name is Sadie Online. I am going to kill the president tomorrow. This is not a joke, but a confession admissible in a court of law.”
