..... A Wisconsin teen killed his parents to "obtain the financial means and autonomy necessary" to assassinate President Donald Trump, authorities allege in a recently release federal affidavit.
.....
The FBI affidavit sheds new light on the case against Nikita Casap, 17, accused of killing his mother, Tatiana, 35, and stepfather Donald Mayer, 51, whose bodies were found in the family's Waukesha home February 28. [2025] Casap faces charges including first-degree murder, hiding corpse and theft in tier deaths.
..... Authorities believe the couple was fatally shot more than two weeks before the gruesome discovery.
..... In a statement announcing the murder charges tow weeks ago, the Waukesha County Sheriff asked community members to come forward with "any additional information relevant to this case."
..... The newly released federal affidavit states there is probable cause to believe that crimes committed also include a presidential assassination attempt, conspiracy and use of weapons of mass destruction.
..... The affidavit says Mayer's car was listed as stolen immediately after the bodies were found, and the Casap was arrested hours later during a traffic stop in Kansas. A gun, ammunition and $14,000 were among items found in the vehicle, the affidavit says.
.....
The sheriff's office obtained a search warrant for Caspap's phone and found information related to "The Order of Nine Angles," an extremist neo-Nazi group. They also found text messages in Russian and a three-page document disusing assassination, Bomb-making and terrorist attacks.
..... Casap had told a classmate he planned to kill his parents and that he was in contact with someone in Russia who was part of a plot to kill Trump and overthrow the U.S. government, according to the affidavit. A three-page document that was found on the pho9ne, apparently written by Casap, said killing Trump would bring chaos to the nation, according to the affidavit.
..... "As to why, specifically Trump, I think it's pretty obvious," the document said. "By getting rid of the president and perhaps the vice president, that is guaranteed to bring in some chaos."
..... The document also accused Jewish people of promoting white genocide and degeneracy. "Jewish occupied governments must fall," the document said, adding that the white race :cannot survive unless America collapses." It also contained images of Adolf Hitler with the next "hall Hitler Hail the white race-hall victory."
..... The affidavit, in summary states that Casap "appears to have written a manifesto calling for the assassination, of the President of the United States. he was in touch with other parties about his plan to kill the President and overthrow the government of the United States. And he paid for, at least in part, a drone and explosive to be used as a weapon of mass destruction to commit an attack. The killing of his parents appeared to be an effort to obtain the financial means and autonomy necessary to carry out his plan."
..... Casap is scheduled for arraignment in May. [0225]
