RALEIGH, N.C. — A heated Facebook exchange over President Donald Trump brought Secret Service agents to a North Carolina man’s door. But it wasn’t until he made a profane defence of his First-Amendment rights that they slapped him with a criminal charge. Mark Rosenberg of Lincolnton posted Facebook comments against Trump and another user last November 28, according to federal court documents. That interaction led to a misdemeanour charge of impeding federal agents, who said Rosenberg displayed “aggressive conduct” toward them. The Charlotte Observer, which first reported the charge, noted that Rosenberg appears to have deleted the Trump-related comment and many other posts from his account.
