Damning new allegations have surfaced about Ryan Fournier, a rising star in MAGA circles, accused of violently assaulting his girlfriend.
According to a Friday article by The Daily Mail, Fournier allegedly began punching his girlfriend when she tried to wake him up after a night of drinking in May. However, the accusations come as he’s already jailed in Washington, D.C., without bond for felony charges, according to The Daily Mail.
Fournier is the co-founder of Students for Trump, which has 350 chapters across the country. The Daily Mail describes him as “the man who built Donald Trump’s college army.” Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA used to lease web domains and social media accounts started by Fournier and Students for Trump, The Daily Mail noted.
Federal prosecutors alleged that Fournier grabbed his girlfriend’s hair, knocked her to the ground, and hit her in the face at least twice, according to The Daily Mail. He then allegedly pulled out a switchblade, according to a court filing reviewed by The Daily Mail.
“You’re going to die tonight,” Fournier allegedly told his girlfriend.
Fournier is also alleged to have threatened a second woman by saying he would have her deported or killed after she refused to lie to police for him, The Daily Mail reported.
According to The Daily Mail, Fournier has pleaded not guilty to the multiple felonies he faces, and he’s supposed to go to trial on Oct. 8 before the D.C. Superior Court. Jeanine Pirro’s U.S. Attorney’s Office gave him until Sept. 11 to take a plea deal, The Daily Mail added.
Fournier was arrested in May, shortly after the incident with his girlfriend. According to an arrest affidavit reviewed by The Daily Mail, he shouted, “I’ll kill everyone here,” and “Do you want me to crush your head with this lamp?”
He was also arrested by the Secret Service in June after he texted his girlfriend, The Daily Mail reported.
