A Federal Aviation Administration employee in New Hampshire has been arrested and charged with making threats against President Donald Trump, according to federal prosecutors.

The employee allegedly threatened to harm the president and used a government work computer to research plans related to the threat, prosecutors said in court documents. The charges stem from threats to kill Trump that were made by the FAA worker.

Federal authorities have not released additional details about the specific nature of the threats or the timeline of the alleged conduct. The case represents the latest in a series of threat cases involving federal employees that have come to light in recent months.

The employee's name and other identifying details were not immediately available. It was not clear whether the individual has retained legal counsel or entered a plea to the charges.

The FBI and other federal agencies regularly investigate threats made against public officials, including the president. Using government resources to conduct personal activities, particularly those involving potential criminal conduct, can result in additional federal charges beyond the underlying threat allegations.
