What we know about the alleged Iranian plot to assassinate Trump

The Department of Justice has revealed criminal charges in connection with a failed Iranian plot to kill U.S. officials, including President-elect Donald Trump. The DOJ named three individuals in a criminal complaint unsealed Friday, including an Iranian man who says he was instructed to surveil and assassinate Trump during the campaign. The two other suspects are not accused of going after Trump. CBS News congressional correspondent Scott MacFarlane has the details.

So where is the FBI's report on the first assassination attempt?

[laurenaf]

I don't trust any of this... This is too convenient

[menotyou]

Is "Iran" code for CIA or FBI?

[EricSheldon-xj]

I'm seeing a trend here, and it starts with fall guys.

[Steve-fxfb]

After reading the awake!!! Praise God.

It’s not an Iranian plot, it’s a Democratic plot!

[jonnybonezesc]

I don't believe this... Sounds like a cover up

[annagerse]

An excuse to attack Iran!
The would-be Assassin in Pennsylvania was not Iranian!

[johnsosa]

Telling me Oswald was involved would be more believable

[Tessa-co]

DOJ trying to cover. Do they anticipate more attempts? And by who?

[none-ya-oz]

It's about as believable as 81 million votes

[RamonaPool]

Russia Russia Russia, oh my bad, That's old hat. Now it's Iran Iran Iran time.

[SteveKaye-ylte]

Trump took this personaly, if Iran tries to challenge Trump it will not be good for them

[DrAsa-mwoq]

Iranian people have nothing to do with this title. Please use the Islamic Republic. These are two different entities. Iranian people never wanted to harm others. The Islamic government makes decisions related to its policies.

[melindachisholm]

I doubt Iran would hire a boy pulled right out of the Black Rock commercial.

[rogerelliss]

That's right garland. We won't tolerate anyone messing with our national security except ourselves.

[TheContiGT]

Not a single person on this planet buys this 🤣

[Poppi_Weez]

LEAVE TRUMP ALONE! He WON Fair& Square!

[thevapingpolisher]

Jack was fired.
It’s the end of the nwo system

[davedvorak]

When will CBS do real reporting..We see through all your nonsense!
