ROME, Ga. – A Floyd County man has been charged with making a threat against the life of President Donald Trump following a TikTok livestream. Jauan Rashun Porter, 29, of Rome, was arrested today on federal charges for his alleged threats to assassinate the Commander-in-Chief.
U.S. Attorney Theodore S. Hertzberg emphasized the gravity of the allegations against Porter, stating, ‘We do not tolerate threats against public officials or law enforcement officers, and Porter will now face the consequences of his actions.’
The incident began on July 26, 2025, when Porter allegedly commented during a TikTok livestream that he would kill President Trump by putting a bullet in his forehead. He also made statements about watching Trump bleed out and die, adding that he planned to kill federal agents as well.
During their investigation, Secret Service agents and Floyd County police discovered two pipes, pistol ammunition, and Tannerite explosive at Porter’s apartment. Porter has a lengthy criminal history including terroristic threats, drug possession, battery, and domestic violence, among others, while currently on probation for these offenses.
Jauan Rashun Porter was charged on August 7, 2025, with making threats against the President. A detention hearing is scheduled for August 12, 2025, at 2:30 p.m.
The investigation into this case is being led by the United States Secret Service, with assistance from Floyd County Police Department, Floyd County District Attorney’s Office, and Georgia Department of Community Supervision. Assistant United States Attorney Brian Michael Pearce is prosecuting the case.
