Courtroom scene depicting the seriousness of threats against political figures.
Travis Lang, a 47-year-old from Irmo, SC, has been indicted by a federal grand jury for allegedly threatening the life of former President Donald Trump. Arrested shortly after the threats were made on February 17, 2025, Lang is currently held without bond and has pleaded not guilty. The U.S. Secret Service is investigating the case, given Lang’s troubled history of making threats and his prior attempts at political candidacy.
In a startling turn of events in Irmo, South Carolina, a 47-year-old man named Travis Lang has found himself at the center of a serious legal case after being indicted by a federal grand jury. Lang is facing some pretty intense charges for allegedly threatening the life of former President Donald Trump. It seems that the wheels of justice are turning swiftly since the alleged threats were made around February 17, 2025.
Lang was arrested not long after his alleged threats on March 6, 2025, and made his first court appearance the very next day. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges placed against him, but that hasn’t been enough for him to secure a bond. He’s currently being held at the Lexington County Detention Center, where he will wait for his fate to be decided.
If convicted, Lang could face a maximum penalty of five years in prison. That’s quite a bit of time to think about one’s choices, especially when it involves breaking the law. With a detention hearing already lined up for March 14, 2025, at 11 a.m., things are moving fast in this case.
The U.S. Secret Service is not taking these threats lightly. They’re currently conducting an investigation into Lang’s case, and given his past behavior, it’s no wonder they’re on high alert. This is not the first time he’s had interactions with the Secret Service. Lang has a history of making threats against both Trump and even President Joe Biden, resulting in visits from the agency to counsel him on adjusting his behavior.
Interestingly, Lang isn’t just a random citizen; he has tried to make a name for himself in the political arena. He even filed to run for president as a Republican in the past, although he didn’t make it onto any primary ballot. Interestingly, he claimed to have funded his campaign with a self-donation of $6,000. His Facebook page continues to tout him as “Travis Lang for President,” demonstrating his ongoing ambition, albeit in a questionable way given the recent allegations.
Lang hasn’t just made headlines for his threats; he’s also been vocal in his criticism of President Biden, going as far as calling for his impeachment. This is all happening against the backdrop of heightened tensions surrounding the safety of political figures, especially after two assassination attempts against Trump in 2024, one of which left the former president injured at a rally.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office, along with various law enforcement agencies including the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED), are working hand-in-hand on this case. They are taking these threats very seriously, as safety for everyone involved, especially when it comes to presidential security, remains a top priority.
This case serves as a reminder of the importance of vigilance in our communities. The Secret Service spokesperson has urged the public to report any potential threats. It’s a community effort to ensure everyone remains safe and that such alarming incidents do not become a norm.
As we keep an eye on this unfolding case in Irmo, one thing is for sure: the implications of making threats, especially against powerful individuals, can lead to serious consequences. Let’s hope that justice prevails, and people reconsider how they express their frustrations.
