Emerald was indicted on eight counts of interstate transmission of threatening communications, with allegations of making repeated threats on Facebook to kill and injure President Donald Trump.

CASE UPDATE: MINNESOTA FRAUD SCHEME The FBI is aware of recent social media reports in Minnesota. However, even before the public conversation escalated online, the FBI had surged personnel and investigative resources to Minnesota to dismantle large-scale fraud schemes exploiting federal programs.
