The Justice Department is charging three people in an alleged Iranian plot to assassinate President-elect Trump. That’s what law enforcement sources told multiple news outlets in the U.S. The men have been charged with murder-for-hire.
Farhad Shakeri, Carlisle Rivera and Jonathan Loadholt are charged with murder-for-hire, according to the U.S. Department of Justice. Rivera and Loadholt have been arrested, while Shakeri, who the FBI described as an “asset” of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, is believed to be in Tehran.
