The Justice Department on Friday announced federal charges against three people in a thwarted Iranian plot to kill Donald Trump before the presidential election.
According to court documents, Iranian officials asked one of the men charged, Farhad Shakeri, in September to focus on surveilling and ultimately assassinating Trump. Shakeri is still at large in Iran, the Justice Department said.
This is a newly disclosed plot and marks yet another alleged attempt on Trump’s life by the Iranian regime.
Prosecutors allege Shakeri – who participated in recorded conversations with law enforcement – was originally tasked by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps to carrying out other assassinations against US and Israeli citizens inside the US. But IRGC officials told Shakeri on October 7 to focus only on Trump, court documents say, and that he had seven days to formulate an assassination plan.
Shakeri, who is an Afghan national residing in Tehran, told investigators that if he was unable to do come up with a plan in that timeframe, the IRGC would wait until after the presidential election to move forward as they believed Trump would lose.
The two other individuals charged, Carlisle Rivera and Jonathon Loadholt, who are American citizens, were arrested in New York and are accused of helping the Iranian government surveil a separate US citizen of Iranian origin. They made their initial appearance in court on Thursday, the Justice Department said, and are being detained pending trial.

What? They’re suddenly going to pretend to be doing their job at DOJ/FBI?
If this was sanctioned by Iran then it’s an act of war.
Have you ever seen people at work with poor performance all year that get super productive just before performance appraisal time? I think this is the same thing.
What was he doing here? Who let him in?
“..If this was sanctioned by Iran then it’s an act of war....”
But....but.....surely you jest: the shadow POTUS, odongo, and ValJar are their loving friends. /s
Released on a Friday afternoon of a three day weekend.
If you ever wanted to bury a story…this is when you release it.
I think Biden really wants to start a war before he leaves office.
They’re suddenly going to pretend to be doing their job at DOJ/FBI?“
The answer to your question is yes. These little worms are terrified now
“...were on the FBlie’s radar” since September
How convenient that the FBlie closed in after the election.
A not too clever way to make it look like they were not involved in the first two attempts. Not buying it.
A little convenient, no? Trump will stop the war in Ukraine, so let's piss him off so he starts a new, 20-year war in Iran?

,.........
Law enforcement had recorded conversations with a guy at large in Iran?
Who wrote this script?
Oh I see. They suddenly arrested an assassination team just 3 days after the election. That’s not suspicious at all. /S
They only got arrested cause they failed to do their job.
But what does that say about the Dems if this is all true.
Iran feels the love of the demoncratic party that it’s willing to try taking out Trump to preserve the relationship. They want the dems to give them their nukes, their funding and look the other way while the fund hamass, hezbollah, Islamic jihad, boka harom and every other evil Muslim terrorist in the world
Trump will have 2 words for Bibi on the afternoon of January 20th: “Happy Hunting.”
Why aren’t they cleaning out their desks? Trump needs to scrub every agency as deep as necessary to get rid of the crud.
Any of um in laws to john f’n kerry? How bout val jar?
