Clinton Family Friend Charged After Threatening To Kill Donald Trump On Twitter
51 year-old Florida resident, Dominic Puopolo, who was arrested by Miami Beach police Tuesday for allegedly threatening President-elect Donald Trump online is, according to The Daily Mail, is a member of a prominent northeast family close to Bill and Hillary Clinton.
Puopolo reportedly admitted to posting a video to Twitter, under his handle @JesusChrist1701, saying: "
Yes, I will be at the review stand at the inauguration and I am going to kill President-elect Trump... what are you gonna do about it Secret Service?"
And was arrested and charged after leaving a Washington Avenue Subway sandwich shop on Tuesday afternoon.
However, as
The Mail notes, Puopolo is not your average Never-Trump'r...
He once
gave $20,000 to the Democratic National Committee, DailyMail.com has learned.
Suspect Dominic Puopolo Jr., 51,
sat near Hillary Clinton when she delivered the eulogy at the funeral of Puopolo's mother, Sonia, who died in one of the jets that flew into the World Trade Center on 9-11.
The family is also known in political circles for its generosity toward Democratic organizations and candidates.
The threat suspect, according to federal elections records, gave $20,000 to the Democratic National Committee in 1996. He also
contributed to Kerry and deceased Sen. Ted Kennedy in the mid-1990s. His name popped up again in contributions in 2006 when he
gave $4,000 to Florida Sen. Bill Nelson's campaign.
His sister Sonia gave $4,000 to Hillary Clinton's various campaigns.
In Miami, meanwhile, Dom Puopolo was
arrested four times for petty crimes since 2006, twice for petty theft and once for defrauding an innkeeper.
There's also evidence he was the target of mental health court proceedings in 2016 although the details are not public.
When he was arrested in March, the judge ordered Puopolo to be represented by a tax-funded public defender after declaring him 'indigent.'
Property records, however, indicate Puopolo sold a family home in Dover, Mass. in 2013 for $4 million. And in 2004, he sold a condo in downtown Miami for $3.3 million.
He currently lives in a run-down $60,000, one-bedroom flat in Miami Beach.
