Another man this time in Kannapolis, North Carolina was arrested earlier this year in a plot to assassinate Joe Biden. This marks at least the third plot to kill the Democrat presidential candidate this year.
The man identified as Alexander Hillel Treisman, who also used the alias, Alexander S. Theiss. Treisman had extensive plans to kill the Democrat presidential candidate, The DailyBeast reported.
Treisman was arrested with a van full of guns and explosives with plans to carry out the act of domestic terrorism and federal felony against a government official. However, bizarrely he hasnât been charged with anything but child pornography possession as his mental health has been called into consideration by his lawyers.
According to the court order obtained by WBTV and filed in federal court earlier this month the details of Treismanâs alleged gruesome plans were revealed along with multiple counts of possession of child pornography. Last month, a federal grand jury in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina indicted Treisman on one count of knowingly possessing any material containing an image of child pornography and two counts of knowingly transporting using any means and facility of interstate and foreign commerce and in and affecting interstate and foreign commerce by any means, including by computer, any child pornography.
According to the records, a total of 1,248 videos and 6,721 images of child pornography content were found on Treismanâs devices, in addition to 637 videos and images of child pornography containing sadism and/or masochism content.
A federal magistrate judge outlined numerous reasons why Treisman should continue to be held in jail on child pornography charges without bail.
Although Treisman currently faces pornography charges and was not charged with anything else the order details a list of factors related to the defendantâs plans for a possible act of terror as grounds he should remain in custody.
According to the order, Treisman was arrested in late May, after employees at a bank in Kannapolis called police to investigate a suspicious white van that had been left in the parking lot. A special agent testified that Treisman arrived at the bank in a green Honda Accord and asked about the towed van. Bank employees called the police, who met with Treisman who then took him into custody.
âThrough the windows, KPD officers observed an AR-15 style rifle, a box for a Taurus .380 handgun, a canister of the explosive material Tannerite, and a box of 5.56 caliber ammunition,â the order said, referencing testimony from an FBI agent who investigated the case as part of the Joint Terrorism Task Force.
According to the order, a search of the van uncovered âapproximately $509,000 of U.S. currency (believed to be the Defendantâs inheritance), books on survival, bomb-making, home-made weapons, and Islam, drawing of swastikas and planes crashing into buildingsâ and five additional firearms.
When Treisman was arrested, the order said, officers, found drivers licenses from three different states. The order said agents also discovered he had purchased the various weapons in states across the country, including Washington, Kansas, New Hampshire, and West Virginia.
The order further says agents found child pornography on eight different electronic devices, along with other pictures and posts related to plans and ideas for possible terrorist acts, including the following according to WBTV.

According to the order, a lawyer for Treisman asked an agent if he was aware that Treisman had been diagnosed with Asperger syndrome. The court filing said agents asked Treisman if he had any mental health conditions and they were told he did not. Further, according to the court transcript during an interview with investigators, Treisman said he has an interest in terrorist incidents and mass shootings. In fact, the court records indicate that Treisman confirmed using different online aliases to post comments “referencing pedophilia and executing those he hates” and posted at least one post on social media expressing desire to commit a mass shooting.
Triesmanâs cell phone search history also revealed that between March and May of 2020, he researched âJoe Bidenâs home address, state gun laws, rifle parts, and night vision goggles.â He also traveled to a Wendyâs within four miles of Joe Bidenâs home, according to the report.
According to Count On 2 NBC, law enforcement officials found a drawing âshowing a stick figure labeled âmeâ beating a stick figure labeled âwhoever the fâ calls the cops on a parked carâ with a batâ and âa handwritten autobiography⊠referencing mass shootings,” in Treismanâs jail cell.
Given the evidence discovered by agents during their investigation, the judge ruled, âthat no combination of available release conditions would reasonably assure the safety of the community, and that a preponderance of evidence establishes that no conditions would ensure Defendantâs presence in court.â
