The U.S. Justice Department has charged Asif Merchant, a 46-year-old Pakistani national with alleged ties to the Iranian government, in connection with a foiled murder-for-hire assassination plot targeting former President Donald Trump and other U.S. government officials.

The case has prompted the U.S. government to increase security measures for Trump and other officials.
