Pakistani national arrested by US for alleged plot to Donald Trump

In this incident, a Pakistani national, Asif Merchant, was arrested for allegedly attempting to assassinate Donald Trump. He was arrested last month after meeting with undercover police officers who he thought were hired hitmen.

Merchant came to New York in June and gave $5,000 as a down payment to these supposed assassins. During their meetings, he talked about his plans to kill a "political person." He even sketched out different scenarios on a napkin and recognized that the target would have high security. Merchant planned to give more details, including the names of the people he wanted to target, when he returned to Pakistan later this summer or fall.

The court documents did not reveal the specific targets of Asif Merchant's plot. However, U.S. officials mentioned that a previous threat from Iran had led to increased security for former President Donald Trump before a rally in Pennsylvania. This earlier threat was not related to a separate incident where Trump was injured by a gunman. Authorities made it clear that Merchant's plan was not connected to this unrelated attack.
