An Iranian government plot to hire hitmen to assassinate Donald Trump was thwarted just a month before the election, chilling documents unsealed Friday reveal.
An Iranian man has been charged in the murder-for-hire scheme to take down the president-elect - who has survived two plots on his life in recent months - as revenge for the 2020 killing of Iranian military leader Qassem Soleimani.
Would-be assassin Farhad Shakeri, 51, has been described by the FBI as an 'asset' of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard and is now on the run in Tehran.
