Mercer County man accused of threatening to kill FBI agents after Mar-a-Lago search

MERCER, Pa. (KDKA) - A Mercer County man is facing charges for allegedly threatening to "slaughter" FBI agents after the search of former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate. 

Forty-six-year-old Adam Bies is charged with influencing, impeding or retaliating against federal law officers.

According to prosecutors, Bies made multiple threats on Gab, writing everyone who works for the FBI "from the director down to the janitor who cleans their [expletive] toilets deserves to die."

The threats came after the FBI executed a search warrant at Mar-a-Lago. According to the unsealed warrant, the federal government is investigating Trump for potential violation of three criminal statutes, including the Espionage Act.

"HEY FEDS. We the people cannot WAIT to water the trees of liberty with your blood. I'll be waiting for you to kick down my door," Bies wrote.

Prosecutors said Bies had an initial appearance in federal court Monday and will remain in custody pending a detention hearing.
