Audio footage has revealed a chilling call made to 911 from a man making a series of threats against US President Donald Trump's life.
Justin Blaxton, 34, was arrested on 27 February after making multiple threats about the president to police in Florida.
In a clip of the audio footage, released by the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office, Blaxton could allegedly be heard telling 911 operators: "I want Donald Trump at my house.

"Tomorrow's his last day on planet Earth."
In a separate call, he reportedly said: "I'm about to launch the missiles to destroy New York.
"I'm a Confederate soldier and I'm looking to get revenge.

"My missiles are attracted to Donald Trump's tower.
"Tell the FBI that I'm a mass murderer.
"I need a ride to the airport to be taken to the White House to assassinate the President."
After police received the threatening phone calls, cops drove to Blaxton's house in Loxahatchee, Florida.
Blaxton - who reportedly has a history of mental illness - wasn't there, but was arrested the next day.

The concerning call comes several months after Trump was the victim of an assassination attempt.
On 13 July 2024, 20-year-old Pennsylvania man Thomas Matthew Crooks attempted to assassinate Trump as he held a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Shots rang out while Trump was delivering a speech, and moments later Secret Service snipers responded by returning fire on Crooks, a registered Republican voter.
As Trump was bundled away by security, he got up and raised his fist to the crowd.

Taking to his social media site, Truth Social, Trump later said: "I want to thank the United States Secret Service and all of Law Enforcement, for their rapid response on the shooting that just took place in Butler, Pennsylvania.
"Most importantly, I want to extend my condolences to the family of the person at the rally who was killed, and also to the family of another person that was badly injured.
“It is incredible that such an act can take place in our country. Nothing is known at this time about the shooter, who is now dead.
"I was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear. I knew immediately that something was wrong in that I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin.

"Much bleeding took place, so I realised then what was happening. GOD BLESS AMERICA!"
