Self-described white nationalist Christopher Hasson is accused of planning an attack against Democratic politicians and the media.
Coast Guard Lieutenant Christopher Hasson was indicted by a federal grand jury on Wednesday on several firearm and drug charges, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said.
On Wednesday, Hasson was indicted on federal charges for unlawful possession of silencers, possession of firearms by a drug addict and unlawful user and possession of a controlled substance. Hasson was not charged with any terror-related crimes, despite being labeled a “domestic terrorist” by federal prosecutors when he was arrested, according to WBAL.
“We continue to gather evidence, as well as review evidence already obtained as part of this ongoing investigation,” U.S. Attorney Robert K. Hur said in a statement. Investigators claim they found a spreadsheet containing several left-leaning television personalities, as well as Democratic members of Congress, CBS News reported. They also discovered an email draft dated June 2017 in which Hasson wrote he was “dreaming of a way to kill almost every last person on earth.”
