On June 29, 2023, Former President Donald Trump posted what he claimed was the address
of Former President Barack Obama on the social media platform Truth Social. Taranto used his
own Truth Social account to re-post the address. On Telegram, Taranto then stated, “We got these
losers surrounded! See you in hell, Podesta’s and Obama’s.”

Shortly thereafter, Taranto again began livestreaming from his van on his YouTube
channel. This time, Taranto was driving through the Kalorama neighborhood of Washington D.C.
The neighborhood contains restricted areas which are protected heavily by the United States Secret Service. Taranto parked his van on the street and began walking around the neighborhood, continuing to film. Taranto made several references to “the Podestas” and stated several times that he is trying to get an interview. Taranto’s continued narration made it clear that he intended to access or enter the private residences of his subjects. For example, Taranto panned the camera to show several sewer grates on the street – calling them “entrance points,” and stating that the grates were an “entrance” to reach “them.” Throughout the video he also stated,

“So if you go down there, there’s obviously tunnels down there. I
don’t know how close they’ll get you in terms of access;”

“We’re gonna find a way to the tunnels, underneath their houses;”
and,

“We’re looking for tunnel access so we can get the interview, in case
they try to weasel their way out. No in or out now! See, First
Amendment, just say First Amendment, free speech. Free, it’s free.”
