Ex-RFK Jr adviser bashes White House on MAHA priorities

The U.S. Secret Service arrested Ronny Yordrix Guanipa Chrinos near the White House after finding him in a stolen vehicle containing three firearms and ammunition, according to The Guardian US. The suspect, a Venezuelan national who entered the U.S. through Texas in March 2024, allegedly told officers that voices in his head instructed him to come to Washington, D.C. to kill President Donald Trump, The Guardian US reported.

ABC News (US) states that a Secret Service officer on patrol spotted the blue Ford F-150 on Constitution Avenue shortly before midnight on Thursday. According to an affidavit cited by ABC News (US), Guanipa-Chrinos made a finger gun gesture when asked about weapons and allegedly used Google Translate to claim he took the guns because "they tried to kill me with it." Investigators found a MAC-10 machine pistol, a Glock 43x pistol, and an AR-15 rifle in the vehicle, according to the affidavit.

The Department of Homeland Security stated that Guanipa-Chrinos has been charged and is in the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service, according to The Guardian US. While CBS News confirmed the arrest of an undocumented man following reports of voices instructing him to kill the president, the White House referred inquiries regarding the matter to the DHS and the Secret Service.
