The gunman accused of firing several shots at an ABC station in California left a handwritten note indicating he planned to target other members of President Donald Trump’s administration, including Attorney General Pam Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel, and FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino.
The suspect, 64-year-old Anibal Hernandez-Santana, was arrested by the FBI on Saturday, a day after the drive-by shooting at ABC 10 in Sacramento. He had been taken into custody earlier by local police and charged with multiple offenses, including assault with a deadly weapon, but was rearrested by federal agents just hours after posting $200,000 bail.
Justice Department officials on Monday said investigators found a note in Hernandez-Santana’s car. The note, according to law enforcement, said: “For hiding Epstein & ignoring red flags. Do not support Patel, Bongino, & AG Pam Bondi. They’re next. — C.K. from above.”
Details about the note come after Variety reported that Hernandez-Santana’s X account contained “a steady stream of anti-Trump commentary.”
