Thomas Welnicki was accused of making threats that included a statement to the Secret Service: “I will do anything and everything that I can to see that Donald Trump is dead.”
Thomas Welnicki was acquitted of charges he threatened to kill former President Donald Trump. Welnicki was simply sad, drunk and lonely while cooped up in his Queens apartment during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Secret Service happened to be the only ones to take his calls, his lawyer told the jury.
