(Central News Agency Correspondent, Concord, New Hampshire, May 5, Comprehensive Foreign Report) A U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) employee in New Hampshire is suspected of searching for assassination-related topics on a government computer and then sending an email to the White House threatening to kill former U.S. President Trump. The man has now been arrested and is awaiting trial.
The Associated Press reported that Dean DelleChiaie, 35, who lives in Nashua, now faces charges of threatening the President through interstate communications. Federal prosecutors stated that he sent an email from his personal account on April 21, identifying himself and stating he would "deal with/kill" the President.
DelleChiaie worked as a contract mechanical engineer for the Federal Aviation Administration. Police and Secret Service agents questioned him three months ago regarding his search history on a government computer.
According to court documents, DelleChiaie used a government computer in January of this year to search for information such as how to bring a gun into federal facilities, the percentage of the population that wants the president dead, and the location of the vice president's residence and his children's names. He later requested the IT department to delete his search history, but the IT department reported the matter to the authorities, and DelleChiaie was immediately suspended.
Nathaneal Gamble, a special agent for the Secret Service, wrote in a sworn statement that when agents questioned DelleChiaie at his residence on February 3, he admitted to conducting the searches and expressed remorse. He also told investigators that he owned three guns, was depressed, and although dissatisfied with the Trump administration, he had no interest in assassination.
DelleChiaie's lawyer did not immediately respond to a request for comment by phone.
DelleChiaie was arrested yesterday, just over a week after Cole Allen, a man with a gun, attempted to break into the White House Correspondents' Dinner. Allen, 31, has since been charged with attempting to assassinate the president, among other charges. On that day, a Secret Service agent wearing a bulletproof vest was shot but not seriously injured.
