A Pakistani national has been charged with “murder for hire” in an alleged Iranian plot to assassinate former president Donald Trump.
According to a detention memo, the 46-year-old named Asif Merchant had spent time in Iran before flying from Pakistan to the U.S. to recruit hitmen — however, the person he contacted was a confidential informant working with the FBI.

“Interesting, now they’re capable of finding people who want to assassinate Donald Trump? Now they’re capable of rooting these things out? And just how interesting that he just ran into this FBI source? What are the odds,” Gonzales says.
Jason Buttrill, Glenn Beck’s chief researcher and former intelligence analyst for the DoD, also has some questions.
“The assassination threat against Donald Trump specifically from Iran has been around since they took out Soleimani. There should have been an increased Secret Service presence, significantly beefed up, around him ever since that,” Buttrill says.

“Well, he was arrested on the 12. What happened on the 13?” Buttrill asks, adding, “It is suspicious.”
