The Secret Service had already been monitoring Swain last year for social media posts allegedly threatening Trump, Congress members, and Trump’s family. Now, Swain’s defense team is arguing he may be mentally unfit to stand trial, requesting a psychiatric evaluation and placement at a federal medical center in Butner. His arraignment is set for July 20th in Raleigh — and the court’s next move could hinge entirely on whether Swain can even understand what’s happening to him.
