CASS COUNTY, Iowa — A California man was sentenced in Iowa on Tuesday after authorities found a hit list of high-ranking U.S. officials, including the president. According to multiple reports, Kuachua Brillion Xiong was sentenced to two years in prison and three years of supervised release. In December, 2021, Xiong was pulled over by a sheriff’s deputy on Interstate 80 in Cass County, for weaving in and out of traffic.

He told deputies that he was on his way to Washington, D.C., to kill President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. Investigators said his “hit list” was based on downloaded videos of individuals on TikTok — that he had over 100 videos featuring Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, Dr. Anthony Fauci, and Mark Zuckerberg. He also told investigators that nothing but this traffic stop would stop him.

Firearms, ammunition and body armor were found in the vehicle. Investigators said Xiong had the White House’s address on his GPS and cash set aside in the vehicle — earmarked for his own funeral expenses. He also had a grappling hook authorities say he intended to use to break into the White House.
