In a post on X, previously known as Twitter, Moskowitz said that authorities nabbed a former felon with a “rifle, suppressor and body armor” near his residence. Moskowitz, who is Jewish, also said the suspect had a manifesto that included antisemitic rhetoric and a target list that only had Moskowitz’s name on it.
“There are many other details that I will not disclose as I do not want to interfere with an ongoing investigation,” Moskowitz said in a statement. “As someone who was appointed to the Task Force on the Attempted Assassination of Donald J. Trump, I understand the failures and importance of fixing the protection of our current and future Commander-in-Chief and Vice President.”

“I am deeply worried about congressional member security and the significant lack thereof when we are in the district,” Moskowitz added.
Moskowitz won reelection to a U.S. House seat representing Florida’s 23rd Congressional District on Tuesday, according to The New York Times. The Democratic representative secured the position with 52.4% of the total votes against Republican candidate Joe Kaufman’s 47.6%.
Political violence in the United States has been escalating. President-elect Donald Trump suffered an ear injury during an assassination attempt in July. In a second alleged assassination attempt in September, authorities charged a man after he was found with a rifle outside one of Trump’s Florida golf courses.
