Secret Service Confirms Visit to Omaha Woman Over Post About Karoline Leavitt

A protective-intelligence check ended without escalation after she clarified she meant televised trials.

Overview

  • Jamie Bonkiewicz shared video showing a Secret Service special agent and a local police officer at her Omaha home the day after her X post.
  • Her message said, "When Karoline Leavitt gets what she deserves, I hope it's televised," which she explained as wanting to see trials similar to Nuremberg.
  • During the interview, the agent asked about weapons in the home, attendance at demonstrations, and travel to political events, then said he would write a report.
  • The agent said a "direct threat," such as explicitly stating an intent to kill the president, would trigger a different threshold and be referred to prosecutors.
  • The Secret Service said it investigates any statement that could be perceived as a potential threat, sharpening debate over how it distinguishes protected speech from actionable risks.
