FAA Employee in New Hampshire Charged With Threatening to Kill Trump
A Federal Aviation Administration employee in New Hampshire has been charged with threatening to kill President Donald Trump after allegedly sending an email to the White House and conducting online research related to assassination attempts. Dean DelleChiaie, 35, of Nashua, is accused of sending a message on April 21 in which he identified himself and said he intended to “neutralize/kill” the president. He is expected to appear in court Tuesday on a charge of interstate communication of a threat.
According to federal prosecutors, DelleChiaie had previously been questioned by police and U.S. Secret Service agents about concerning searches conducted on his FAA work computer. Court documents say those searches included how to bring a gun into a federal facility, information about the vice president’s residence and family, and other related topics. After asking the FAA’s IT department to delete his search history, the request was reported to authorities, leading to his suspension and subsequent charges.
