CNN Presses White House on Migrant Allegedly Framed in Threat Against President

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem

posted a stunning allegation saying

that an

undocumented migrant sent a letter

threatening to kill the president

promising to

self-deport after the assassination.

CNN reporting shows that investigators believe the migrant

was, was set up,

um, was a victim of a setup.

What is the administration going to do now?

And this is an undocumented immigrant,

I do wanna note that, but this was someone

who came forward, was a victim of

a crime, and now law enforcement believes he was

set up. Go ahead.

Well, I wanna clarify what you mean so we're

talking about the same thing.

Um, are you saying this, this immigrant was here illegally?

So look-

That's another discussion for another date

... we will, I don't know, I don't know the-

We're gonna get to the bottom of it, and I would gladly come back on

is the White House on maybe

his purpose?

So you're saying the illegal alien was treated unfairly.
