The Department of Justice (DOJ) on Friday said they uncovered and stopped an Iranian-linked scheme to kill Donald Trump before he was re-elected president.
As ABC News reported, the DOJ charged Iranian national Farhad Shakeri along with Carlisle Rivera and Jonathan Loadholt with murder-for-hire. Rivera and Loadhold have been arrested while Shakeri remains at large.
The DOJ believes Shakeri, an alleged asset of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), is in Tehran potentially under the protection of the Iranian regime.
