根据起诉书，埃默拉尔在2025年5月的另一篇社交媒体帖子中写道：“要么特朗普在2026年前入土为安，要么我会亲手将他缉拿归案并送他下地狱。”
埃默拉尔在首次庭审中辩称无罪，并被下令在周一的羁押听证会举行前不得保释。埃默拉尔的律师未回应置评请求。
根据检方提交的申请羁押他的文件，他的脸书帖子被一名公民举报至联邦调查局，该公民曾警告埃默拉尔威胁总统生命是犯罪行为。

根据一名联邦调查局特工的宣誓书，埃默拉尔回复称，他已经在网上威胁特朗普长达十年，如果执法人员找他麻烦，“我会杀了他们，直到他们杀了我”。
联邦调查局周三前往他在马萨诸塞州大巴灵顿的住所执行逮捕令时，埃默拉尔拒绝出来，最终现身时手持一把长长的金属刀剑，宣誓书称。
联邦调查局特工表示，埃默拉尔此前在威胁特朗普的脸书帖子中提到过他的刀剑，包括2025年7月，当时他说会将刀剑插进总统的喉咙。
埃默拉尔告诉特工们，他们必须先开枪打死他，然后才肯开门，联邦调查局特工在证词中回忆道。
当地警方和联邦调查局危机谈判小组被召集到场。根据宣誓书，最终一名警官通过电话与他取得联系后，他同意被捕。检方表示，特工随后对埃默拉尔的住所进行搜查，缴获了多件带刃武器。
