A federal complaint unsealed on Tuesday in Brooklyn has charged Asif Merchant, also known as “Asif Raza Merchant,” a 46-year-old Pakistani national, with murder-for-hire in connection with a foiled assassination plot targeting a politician or U.S. government officials on American soil.

The plot was thwarted by law enforcement before any attack could be executed. Merchant is currently in federal custody in New York, according to the press release.

FBI investigators believe that the intended targets of the plot included Trump and other current and former U.S. government officials, according to a U.S. official briefed on the matter, per CNN.

According to court documents, Merchant allegedly orchestrated a plan to assassinate U.S. officials after traveling from Iran to the United States in April 2024. Upon arriving in New York City, he contacted an individual he believed could assist him with his scheme. This individual reported Merchant’s intentions to law enforcement and became a confidential source (CS). . .
