Last month, Asif Merchant, a Pakistani man with ties to Iran, was indicted for attempting terrorism and murder-for-hire in a plot to assassinate a U.S. politician, specifically targeting President Trump.
In a separate incident, Iranian hackers were charged with stealing information from Trump’s campaign and attempting to leak it to news organizations.
Like the previous three assassination attempts on President Trump (1 in 2016 and 2 in 2024), the media has remained relatively quiet, and Democrats have failed to acknowledge the clear threat to democracy posed by these repeated assassination attempts and hacking attacks on the opposition candidate.
