WASHINGTON, May 12 (UPI) -- The Secret Service plans to investigate statements made by Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump's former butler calling for President Barack Obama's death.
The agency will investigate Anthony Senecal, Trump's butler for 17 years, for several posts he has made on his Facebook page endorsing the birther movement and violent revolution, while accusing Obama of treason and advocating for his death.
"The U.S. Secret Service is aware of this matter and will conduct the appropriate investigation," Secret Service spokesman Robert Hoback told The Daily Beast of the threats against Obama's life. Threatening the life of a president is a federal crime, with the agency investigating all statements perceived as a potential threat.
Senecal regularly posts messages about Obama, as well as other Democrats and liberals, being guilty of treason, announcing he loves the idea of hanging them as criminals, Mother Jones reported. While some of the posts are public, many were reported to be visible only to his friends on the social network.

Anthony Senecal, who worked as Donald Trump's butler for 17 years before being named the in-house historian at the tycoon's Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, has repeatedly published posts on his Facebook page that express profound hatred for President Barack Obama and declare he should be killed.
On Wednesday, Senecal put up a post that read:
To all my friends on FB, just a short note to you on our pus headed "president" !!!! This character who I refer to as zero (0) should have been taken out by our military and shot as an enemy agent in his first term !!!!! Instead he still remains in office doing every thing he can to gut the America we all know and love !!!!! Now comes Donald J Trump to put an end to the corruption in government !!!! The so called elite, who are nothing but common dog turds from your front lawn are shaking in their boots because there is a new Sheriff coming to town, and the end to their corruption of the American people (YOU) is at hand !!!! I cannot believe that a common murder is even allowed to run (killery clinton) OR that a commie like bernie is a also allowed to also run !!!! Come on America put your big boy pants on---this election you have a choice---GET YOUR ASS OUT AND VOTE !!!! Thank you !!!!
Though Senecal's Facebook page is public, this message could only be read by his Facebook friends. In an interview with Mother Jones, Senecal confirms that those were his words: "I wrote that. I believe that."
