The man arrested by police in Florida Tuesday for allegedly threatening President-elect Trump online is a member of a prominent family close to Bill and Hillary Clinton.
Dominic Puopolo Jr., aged 51, sat close to Hillary when she delivered the eulogy at the funeral of Puopolo’s mother, who died in one of the jets that flew into the World Trade Center on 9/11.
He once gave $20,000 to the Democratic National Committee, according to the DailyMail.
After the attacks Dominic flew to Hamburg where he attended the trial of 9/11 mastermind Mounir El Motassadeq.
Trump will be sworn in Friday in Washington, D.C. as Puopolo remains incarcerated on a charge of threatening to harm a public servant.
Puopolo admitted to posting a video to Twitter, saying: ‘This is the 16th of January 2017, I will be at the review/ inauguration and I will kill President Trump, President elect Trump today.’
He was arrested after leaving a Washington Avenue Subway sandwich shop about 4 p.m. Tuesday.
Property records indicate Puopolo sold a family home in Dover, Mass. in 2013 for $4 million.
And in 2004, he sold a condo in downtown Miami for $3.3 million.
