Pakistani Businessman Confesses To Orchestrating Trump's Assassination

Asif Merchant assures that he was involved in a plot to coerce Iran.

Pakistani businessman Asif Merchant, accused of organizing an assassination attempt on Donald Trump, assures that he participated in a plot to coerce Iran. This is reported by The Guardian from the courtroom in New York.

Asif Merchant made his statement about Iran's involvement in the plan to assassinate the US president while testifying in his defense in the court in Brooklyn, which is hearing his case. He said he went to cooperate with Iran because the Iranians threatened to kill his wife and adopted daughter.

In his testimony, Merchant said a member of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps named Merdad Yousef who worked with him ordered him to travel to the United States in 2024 and find criminals there to organize, among other things, a contract assassination. According to the accused, he was not given a specific target. Possible targets included then-President Joe Biden, Donald Trump and prominent Republican Party official Nicki Haley.

The plan failed when Merchant handed over $5,000 to the would-be assassins, who turned out to be FBI agents. He was arrested in the summer of 2024 as he was about to return from Texas to Pakistan. His trial began last week.
