Quick Glance: Arrested Pakistani Allegedly Involved in Assassination Plot Against Donald Trump and Officials: DOJ
- A Pakistani national with purported ties to Iran was arrested last month on charges of planning to assassinate former President Donald Trump and multiple other public officials, as detailed in a criminal complaint filed in Brooklyn federal court.
- Following time spent in Iran, Asif Merchant traveled from Pakistan to the U.S. to allegedly recruit hitmen for the planned plot, as indicated in a detention memo.
- Authorities have accused the 46-year-old Merchant of solicitation for murder. He engaged with individuals he thought would carry out the killings, who turned out to be undercover law enforcement officials, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.
- At the time Merchant was preparing to leave the U.S., no specific target had been chosen, according to investigators.
