Maryland man accused of plotting to murder OMB director after showing up at his home

Colin Demarco, a 26-year-old from Maryland, is accused of plotting to murder OMB Director Russell Vought after traveling from Rockville to Vought’s Arlington, Virginia home wearing a mask and gloves. Authorities say he left notes about a weapons stash and a “Body Disposal Guide,” discussed killing the president in Discord messages, and identified Vought as the target connected to Project 2025, a Heritage Foundation policy agenda. The case, investigated by the U.S. Marshals Service, involves state charges in Arlington County; Demarco claimed he was seeking a job and denied intent to harm anyone, while Vought remains under security protection amid threats tied to his role in Trump-era policies.
