Court documents show investigators are pursuing federal charges including conspiracy, presidential assassination and use of weapons of mass destruction.

The teen's stepfather, Donald Mayer, 51, and mother, Tatiana Casap, 35, were both found dead inside their home by the Waukesha County Sheriff's Department on March 1, according to a press release from the department.

What Was Nikita Casap's Plan

The federal affidavit referenced by WISN revealed that Casap's phone contained references to "The Order of Nine Angles," described as a network of people sharing neo-Nazi and racially motivated extremist ideologies. Investigators also found images and messages tied to what they called "a self-described manifesto regarding assassinating the president, making bombs, and terrorist attacks."

A three-page document found by the FBI allegedly promoted Trump's assassination as a way to spark a political revolution and "save the white race."

"As to why, specifically Trump, I think it's pretty obvious. By getting rid of the president and perhaps the vice president, that is guaranteed to bring in some chaos," the document reads, according to the affidavit, reported WISN.

The manifesto included images of Adolf Hitler accompanied by the words, "Hail Hitler hail the white race hail victory," reported CNN.

The FBI also claimed to have found images and instructions for modifying a drone into a weapon. Casap reportedly began financing the purchase of both a drone and explosives to execute his plan. Authorities also found photographs of Mayer's credit and debit cards, as well as login credentials for a bank account, which they believe Casap intended to use, reported CNN.

The Waukesha County complaint stated that Casap intended to flee the US for Ukraine. In one Telegram message, he reportedly asked, "So while in Ukraine, I'll be able to live a normal life? Even when it's found out I did it?"
