A Pennsylvania man who recently launched a campaign for U.S. Senate is accused of leaving a series of violent voicemails threatening President Donald Trump and a member of Congress’s family, according to unsealed federal court documents on Friday, May 1.

Raymond Eugene Chandler III, of Wilkinsburg, was arrested and charged after a federal investigation into repeated threats made over voicemail, authorities said.

Chandler is charged with influencing, impeding, or retaliating against a federal official by threatening a family member and by threat, according to the affidavit.

The criminal complaint, unsealed in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, alleges Chandler left multiple messages targeting an unnamed member of Congress and President Trump between April 2025 and April 2026.

In one voicemail on April 18, 2026, Chandler allegedly described a graphic scenario in which the congressman and his daughter would be attacked, saying they would be “pull[ed]… out of your house” and have their “throat… slit,” according to the affidavit.

Days later, on April 29, 2026, Chandler allegedly left another message urging the lawmaker to assassinate President Trump, telling them to “walk into the Oval Office with a gun in your hand… put it to the President’s head… and… pull the trigger,” the affidavit states.

He will get a good lawyer who will batter a witness until they confess on the stand.

There’s that familiar smug look again. The same look as the ahole that owns the brewery in Wisconsin and the “teacher”. And on and on…

Confusing, PA has no Senate race until 2028, when Fetterman could seek a second term.

“There’s that familiar smug look again.”

Perhaps it says: “You can’t do anything to me. The fix is in.”

People have to see otherwise.

WTF! The WORDS of Raymond Eugene Chandler III. What do family and friends think of him? What contributed to his mental instability?

HOORAY law enforcement.
