A Rhode Island man indicted for threatening to assassinate President Donald J. Trump and senior members of his administration is walking free under court-ordered monitoring — despite repeated warnings from prosecutors about his violent past and instability.

Carl D. Montague, 37, of Providence, was indicted by a federal grand jury on charges of threatening the president and transmitting interstate threats after a profanity-laced June 27 post on Truth Social, Breitbart News reported.

According to an FBI affidavit, Trump Media & Technology Group flagged Montague’s post and alerted the U.S. Secret Service. Investigators traced the account “@tacoustic” directly to him.

The message threatened to shoot the president, former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, and White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller.

“It’s a shame you won’t get to see the end of your f***** term, because I’m gonna make sure I put a bullet rate [sic] between your f****** head you piece of s***, you Pam Bondi. Stephen f****** Miller, all you b******, are gonna get a f****** bullet to the head every single f****** one of you.”

On June 30, agents found Montague hiding in a bathtub at an associate’s apartment. Before questioning began, he admitted to making the threats. He later claimed he was “smoking a lot of marijuana” at the time, had no weapons, and regretted the post. Prosecutors said his remorse was unconvincing.

Judges Twice Decline to Detain Him

Despite the seriousness of the charges, Montague was released July 9 on a $10,000 bond after appearing before U.S. Magistrate Judge Amy Moses, an Obama appointee. The Department of Justice quickly filed a motion seeking his detention, citing his extensive history of violence.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Dulce Donovan detailed Montague’s record, including four assault convictions between 2014 and 2022, six probation violations, and repeated failures to complete court-ordered treatment.

“Put simply, the defendant’s recent violent threats are the latest in a long history of violent and threatening behavior,” Donovan wrote. She added that Montague “lacks the ability to control his aggression.”

Prosecutors also pointed to his conduct after release, when he shouted obscenities at reporters outside the courthouse — evidence, they argued, that he remains a danger to the public and to President Trump.

Yet on July 25, U.S. District Judge Melissa R. DuBose, a Biden appointee, denied the DOJ’s request to detain him. Instead, she ordered Montague to wear a GPS ankle monitor, observe an evening curfew, and remain free pending trial.

This marks the second time Democratic-appointed judges have rejected federal prosecutors’ warnings and declined to jail Montague, raising sharp questions about whether the courts are taking threats against the president seriously.

Montague awaits arraignment on the grand jury indictment. If convicted, he faces federal prison time, though sentencing guidelines have not yet been disclosed.

For now, the man who openly threatened to murder President Trump and senior officials remains at home — not behind bars — fueling criticism that the justice system is more concerned with leniency than protecting the Commander-in-Chief and the American people.
