BREAKING: FAA Employee Dean DelleChiaie, 35, from New Hampshire, Charged with Threatening to Assassinate President Trump.

The federal worker allegedly used his government computer to search “how to smuggle a gun into a federal building,” past assassination attempts, and the direct phrase “I am going to kill Donald John Trump.”

Months later, he reportedly sent a direct threat via personal email to the White House.

This arrest follows the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey and another recent attempt at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

DelleChiaie admitted to authorities that he was the one who made the suspicious web searches.

He also told them that he owns several firearms.

CNBC reported further:

Dean DelleChiaie, 35, who was arrested Monday, allegedly conducted internet searches on his government work computer in late January for terms that drew the attention of the U.S. Secret Service, according to the U.S. attorney’s office.

Those subjects included “how to get a gun into a federal facility, previous assassination attempts against the President, the percentage of the population that wants the President dead, and the phrase ’I am going to kill Donald John Trump,” according to an affidavit filed to support the criminal complaint against the Nashau resident.

DelleChiaie also searched for the locations of the homes of Vice President JD Vance and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, the affidavit said.

The FAA’s Information Technology department notified the Secret Service about those “concerning searches” after DelleChiaie took his FAA computer to the department “and requested to delete his search history off the device,” Secret Service Special Agent Nathanael Gamble wrote in the affidavit.

On Feb. 3, a Secret Service agent and a Nashua Police officer visited DelleChiaie’s apartment, where “he admitted to conducting the searches … and was remorseful,” the affidavit said.

“DelleChiaie stated that he realized he should not search these subjects and that it was crazy for him to do this on his work computer,” Gamble wrote.

He also said he was motivated to conduct the searches because he was “upset with the current administration based on multiple subjects, including the election, presidential pardons, and the ‘Epstein files.’ ”

Those files are Department of Justice documents about its investigations into Jeffrey Epstein, a notorious sex offender.

During the interview, the Secret Service agent saw several items written on a whiteboard attached to DelleChiaie’s, including: “Calm down more;” “1-month no arrest by police;” “Go DC to office if they do not action;” “Say arrest me ‘I am going to murder Donald John Trump – per defense of oath,’ ” according to the affidavit.

He told the agent and police officer had had an interest in assassinations, “but he did conduct a search about assassinations because it was part of the cycle that was going on in his mind,” the affidavit said.

“DelleChiaie mentioned that he was depressed and sees a therapist and is engaged in Ketamine therapy to try to get better,” Gamble wrote. “DelleChiaie admitted that he drinks to ‘black out’ and that he used to drink every day. Dellechiaie said that he used cannabis daily and occasionally uses mushrooms.”

He also admitted to owning a handgun, which was locked in a safe in his apartment, and that he also owned another handgun and a hunting rifle that were at a friend’s residence, according to the affidavit.

Then, on April 21, DelleChiaie allegedly used his personal email to send an email to the White House’s public-facing address, with the subject “Contact the President,” the affidavit said.

“I, Dean DelleChiaie, am going neutralize/kill you — Donald John Trump — because you decided to kill kids — and say that it was War — when in reality — it is terrorism,” the email said, according to the affidavit.

“God knows your actions and where you belong,” the email said.

Now, he is facing a sentence of up to five years behind bars.

Per Fox News:

DelleChiaie was charged by criminal complaint in federal court last Friday with interstate communication of a threat against the president.

He is expected to appear in court Tuesday. If convicted, DelleChiaie faces up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
