Who is Ryan Fournier? 5 shocking accusations against Students for Trump leader made by girlfriend

Ryan Fournier, co-founder of Students for Trump, faces seven charges including assault, threats, and witness tampering after allegedly assaulting his girlfriend and attempting to influence witnesses. The accusations, detailed in a September 1 court filing, stem from an incident in May where Fournier, intoxicated, allegedly punched, grabbed hair, and threatened his girlfriend with a switchblade, telling her "You're going to die tonight."

Prosecutors further claim he asked his girlfriend to make false social media posts and threatened to deport her or have her killed if she spoke negatively about him. Fournier has pleaded not guilty and is set to go on trial on October 8.
