Last week, the feds traced online chatter of a pending terrorist attack to the home of a white supremacist in Illinois.

Court documents showed his minor son took credit for the chatter.

Now, in a new filing, his defense attorney has revealed the son is 10 years old.
I'm seeing some skepticism that a 10-year-old could do this. But keep in mind that it recently came to light that a 13-year-old in Estonia was in charge of an international neo-Nazi terror group. https://twitter.com/161EUG/status/1247796154047139842
