Trespasser Arrested Twice at Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s Property, Prompting Third Request for Secret Service Protection

Jonathan Macht, the repeated intruder, had sent Kennedy over 400 emails within a three-month period including a threat to Kennedy's life; Kennedy believes rejection of security protection is politically motivated.

  • Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an independent presidential candidate, had a trespasser, named Jonathan Macht, arrested twice on his property in a single day, leading Kennedy to request Secret Service for a third time.
  • Macht, who had sent over 400 emails to Kennedy within a span of three months, was previously included in a Secret Service risk assessment which determined Kennedy to be at an 'elevated risk for adverse attention.'
  • Despite the risk assessment, the Department of Homeland Security has denied Kennedy's previous two requests for protection, a decision Kennedy argues is politically motivated.
  • Kennedy has faced other security incidents, including a man masquerading as a US marshal who tried to approach him armed at a campaign event, the man was found to be carrying multiple weapons.
  • The independent presidential candidate is the nephew of President John F Kennedy and son of senator Robert F Kennedy, both of whom were assassinated while in office.
