Obama Assassination Plot Linked To Trump in New Report

Stunning document connects the president to an armed insurrectionist's arrest near Obama's home.

A stunning new report details Donald Trump’s alleged involvement in an apparent assassination plot against former President Barack Obama. The report details a systematic cover-up of the plot by Trump’s own Department of Justice.

Seth Abramson, a lawyer, former investigator, and New York Times best-selling author, published the explosive findings. His report connects a series of Trump’s public solicitations directly to the actions of an armed January 6 insurrectionist arrested near Obama’s home.

A Pattern of Public Incitement

Abramson’s case rests on a documented pattern. Trump has a history of “publicly soliciting crimes” with the full “apparent awareness” that his words “will imminently lead to those crimes being committed.”

The 2016 “Russia, if you’re listening” speech serves as a foundational example. This was not just rhetoric; it was a “success.” Kremlin-backed hackers attacked the exact infrastructure Trump named “within hours.”

This incident, the report argues, proved to Trump that his public words function as direct commands. He deliberately repeated this pattern in December 2020 when he posted a tweet to his millions, upon millions of followers instructing them ”be there [in Washington DC on January 6], will be wild.”

As Abramson explained:

Trump knew his fans were murderously angry about the 2020 election, he knew that the United States Capitol was going to be closed to the public on January 6, and he knew that his White House Ellipse speech on January 6 would directly order those angry fans (who continued to see him as the rightful Commander-in-Chief) to trespass on U.S. Capitol grounds anyway… a crime they could only achieve with open violence against the law enforcement officers who daily protect that sacred building.

The ‘Meddlesome Priest’ Post

The report identifies a chilling and specific effort to incite outrage against Barack Obama. Trump reportedly recognized Obama “would be a far better spokesman” for the Biden campaign than Biden himself.

Abramson continued with the following bombshell observation.

Trump yet again pulled what Shakespearean scholars would term a “Will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest?” solicitation offense and wrote on social media where his followers could find Barack Obama.

And he did this at a time that he’d already made clear to those same followers that he believed Obama deserve to be executed.

It was therefore eminently foreseeable to Trump that one of the January 6 Capitol attackers would respond to his tweet about doing something wild and illegal in 2023 in the same way that they had in 2021.

And that’s exactly what happened.

This act was not random. Trump had spent years priming his base to view Obama as a criminal. He had frequently and falsely accused Obama of “Treason,” a “death penalty-eligible crime,” for supposedly “spying” on his 2016 campaign.

This long-term campaign created a pool of radicals who believed Obama deserved to be executed. Trump’s social media post provided this primed group with a specific target and location.

The Man Who Answered the Call

The man who answered Trump’s call was Taylor Taranto, according to Abramson’s report. Taranto’s profile fit the exact mold of the “far-right radicals” Trump knew “will do his bidding.”

Taranto was a known January 6 insurrectionist. He had previously “accepted Donald Trump’s invitation” to come to Washington on January 6, 2021, and criminally entered the U.S. Capitol.

Abramson’s report identifies Taranto as a “Trump fan, Trump-solicited criminal, and Trump pardon recipient.”

His history established him as an individual highly susceptible to Trump’s public incitements. His prior actions demonstrated a willingness to commit federal crimes at Trump’s direction.

This connection is vital. It transforms Taranto’s subsequent actions from those of a “lone wolf” into the predictable result of a specific solicitation from Trump.

The Direct Timeline

The Abramson report establishes an immediate causal link between Trump’s post and Taranto’s actions, citing the following excerpt from a CNN report published last week.

[An] interesting aspect of Taranto’s crime is Trump’s proximity to it. In fact, Taranto was apprehended near Obama’s home shortly after Trump re-shared a post that included an alleged address for the former president to social media.

Prosecutors said Taranto began livestreaming in the area shortly after promoting Trump’s post.

This sequence mirrors the 2016 Russia hack. A social media post designed to incite his followers is followed almost immediately by action from his chosen agent.

Taranto was found, upon his arrest in Obama’s D.C. neighborhood, to be in possession of “numerous firearms and materials to make explosives.”

This arsenal escalated his actions far beyond a simple threat, into the realm of a credible domestic terror plot.

Trump’s Own Definition of Assassination

Abramson’s report clarifies the term “assassination plot” by employing what he calls a precise legal “masterstroke”. It preempts all political counter-arguments by adopting the exact definition used by Trump’s own administration.

Abramson explains the framework :

...we’ll take the definition employed by Donald Trump, the second Trump administration, Trump’s DOJ, Trump’s FBI, and the 2024 Trump presidential campaign.

To wit, we’ll follow the use of that term as seen in the case of the just-convicted would-be Trump assassin, Ryan Routh....

Routh had political animus toward his target; Routh had weaponry with him capable of causing death; Routh researched where he could find his target; and Routh... took a “substantial step” toward enacting an assassination plot by traveling with weaponry and animus to his target’s potential location, therefore was guilty of Attempted Assassination.

Trump himself celebrated this conviction, stating “justice was served.” This framework, validated by Trump, becomes the undeniable standard to judge Taranto’s actions.

How Taranto Fits the Definition

The report applies this “Routh framework” directly to Taylor Taranto, demonstrating what Abramson argues is a perfect and damning match.

Abramson lays out the comparison:

While having political animus toward his target, Barack Obama; and while having weaponry (multiple firearms and hundreds of rounds of ammunition) with him capable of causing death; Taranto researched where he could find his target; and though Taranto never engaged in any violent conduct... he took a “substantial step” toward enacting an assassination plot by going with weaponry and animus to his target’s location, and so was guilty of Attempted Assassination.

Abramson’s report also notes Taranto was separately stalking Democratic Representative Jamie Raskin, stating he was “one of the guys that hates January 6 people.”

The report concludes that under the precise definition Trump used against Routh, Taranto “was guilty of Attempted Assassination”.

The Alleged DOJ Cover-Up

The report’s most explosive claim details the subsequent cover-up by Trump’s Department of Justice. Trump’s personal lawyer and Attorney General, Pam Bondi, reportedly began reviewing January 6 cases and discovered the case against Taylor Taranto.

Abramson details what federal prosecutors Carlos Valdivia and Samuel White had filed in that case:

They made reference to Taranto’s January 6 case, which was essential to explain his motive... and to establishing the unique sort of danger he posed... and they referenced that Taranto’s June 2023 crime was committed in response to a Trump tweet, which was essential to explain that Taranto was the sort of man who... was willing to commit violent, politically committed crimes inspired by the violent and suggestively vile rhetoric of Donald Trump...

These honest documents created a formal “public record.” They were a paper trail that, according to Abramson, officially linked Trump’s incitement to Taranto’s act of attempted political violence.

Support fearless, independent journalism that gets into “good trouble, necessary trouble” by holding power accountable.

‘Consciousness of Guilt’

Trump and Bondi’s response to this public record was immediate and, according to the report, illegal.

Abramson alleges they acted with a clear “consciousness of guilt:”

[They] suspended Valdivia and White from their jobs, doctored the federal record in Taranto’s case by ripping up the prior filings that mentioned January 6... as well as Trump’s June 2023 tweet inciting an Attempted Assassination of Obama, and did not maintain the ardent push for a 27-month federal prison sentence for Taranto, which resulted in him being immediately released from custody....

This act was not a simple “political comms decision,” Abramson writes. The report frames it as a premeditated criminal cover-up, designed to destroy federal evidence and obscure the president’s role in the plot.

Abramson concludes this is Trump’s “near-daily scheme.” He pardons a criminal for one crime (Jan 6) and then covers up his own involvement in soliciting the next crime (the Obama plot).
