How about this one; Sai Varshith Kandula, 20, of St Louis was sentenced Jan. 16 in U.S. District Court to eight years in federal prison for an attempted attack on the White House with a rented U-Haul truck May 22, 2023.
The attack "aimed to overthrow the democratically elected government of the United States in order to replace it with a dictatorship fueled by Nazi ideology," according to a statement from the U.S. attorney's office in Washington, D.C.
At the time of the crash, he was attempting to gain access to the White House to seize political power, according to the plea agreement.
"Kandula’s intent was to replace the democratically elected government with a dictatorship fueled by [the] ideology of Nazi Germany and for himself to be put in charge of the United States," according to the statement.
Kandula planned the attack for several weeks, according to authorities. Prior to renting the truck and crashing it on White House grounds, he made several attempts to gain access to vehicles or armed security guards.
On April 22, 2023, Kandula unsuccessfully requested 25 armed guards and an armored convoy from a Virginia security company, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office. Weeks later, on May 4, 2023, he attempted to contact several other companies in an attempt to rent a large commercial tractor-trailer truck, a dump truck or another large truck.
"Kandula had attempted to arrange for the services of these security guards and the use of large vehicles in order to carry out his offense against the U.S. government," officials said. "His actions were calculated to influence or affect the conduct of government by intimidation or coercion."
He admitted to investigators that he would have arranged for the killing of former President Joe Biden and others, if necessary, to achieve his objective, authorities noted.
