FBI: Man Arrested for Reckless Time Travel Likely to Blame for Trump as POTUS

LAS VEGAS, NV - The FBI confirmed this afternoon that a man they arrested earlier in the day for reckless time travel is likely indirectly responsible for Donald Trump becoming President.

The focus of investigators since purchasing The Mirage Casino in Las Vegas with winnings he collected from a halftime Super Bowl wager on the New England Patriots in February, 47 year-old former quantum physics professor Daniel Morrissey also reaped millions from bets he made on the Chicago Cubs in October, less than two weeks before the November, 8th election.

"It is our belief that Mr. Morrissey made felonious use of a device to warp the space-time continuum in order to make these bets, and in the process triggered a chain reaction of events that has led us into a bizarre tangential dimension where Donald Trump is President of the United States," FBI spokesman Dale Gordon remarked.

Gordon went on to report that Morrissey has confessed that at the time of his February departure to bet on the World Series that Hillary Clinton was President.

"This case underscores how pernicious time travel can be," Gordon said. "One person goes back just a few months to make a couple of bets on sports, and the next thing you know you have an overgrown toddler in the White House about to start World War Three."

Gordon also noted that Morrissey, who is reportedly deeply remorseful over the harm he has caused, has offered to return to the past to try to reverse the changes he made, an offer authorities have flatly rejected.

"He's done enough damage. Next thing, we'll wake up to hear Anna Faris and Chris Pratt are getting a divorce," Gordon said.
