Teen Arrested for Murdering Parents to Finance Trump Assassination Plot
A teenager in Wisconsin, United States, is facing allegations of murdering his parents to fund a plot aimed at assassinating U.S. President Donald Trump and toppling the government. Officials have identified the suspect as 17-year-old Nikita Kasap and revealed that he was allegedly motivated by neo-Nazi extremist ideology, according to court documents made public last week.
Authorities suspect that Nikita Kasap killed his mother, Tatiana Kasap (35), and stepfather, Donald Meyer (51), at their residence in Waukesha on February 11. He is believed to have lived in the house with the deceased bodies for over two weeks. The crime came to light on February 28 when police visited the residence for a welfare check.
Kasap is accused of stealing $14,000 in cash, a vehicle, passports, and other valuables from the house to finance his plans. He was arrested in March during a traffic stop in Kansas, where police recovered the stolen vehicle, a firearm, ammunition, and cash in his possession.
Federal and local authorities allege that the murders were part of a broader extremist conspiracy. Evidence found on Kasap’s phone reportedly links him to the neo-Nazi group “The Order of Nine Angles.” Investigators claim they discovered anti-Semitic writings, praises of Adolf Hitler, documents outlining plans to assassinate political figures including Donald Trump, and materials related to destabilizing the government.
The FBI has stated that Kasap communicated through the Telegram app with individuals, including a Russian-speaking contact, regarding the execution of his plans. Investigators also uncovered evidence suggesting he had purchased drones and explosives intended for use as weapons of mass destruction.
Nikita Kasap now faces two first-degree murder charges and nine additional state-level felony charges, including concealment of a corpse. Federal charges have also been filed against him for conspiracy, attempted assassination of the president, and the use of weapons of mass destruction. He is currently in custody in Wisconsin on a $1 million bond. A preliminary hearing on the charges is scheduled for May 7.
While prosecutors argue that the crimes were premeditated, the defense attorney has asked the court to consider Kasap’s age, noting that he is still a high school student.
