Rep. Gaetz: DHS Knows Of 5 “Assassination Teams” Targeting Trump<\/span><\/p>\n

Rep.\u00a0Matt Gaetz<\/a>, R-Fla., made the startling claim Thursday that there are at least five known assassination teams in the U.S. conspiring to assassinate Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Gaetz told\u00a0Just the News<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Breitbart<\/a>\u00a0that a senior\u00a0Homeland Security<\/a>\u00a0official told him about the five assassination conspiracies before Sunday\u2019s latest attempt on Trump at his West Palm Beach golf course.<\/p>\n

\u201cThree of them that we know are foreign in nature. Two of them we know are domestic in nature, and that calls for a force protection that we do not have around the former president right now,<\/strong>\u201d <\/em>Gaetz said said, adding that DHS officials are \u201caware of this and were concerned that the\u00a0Secret Service<\/a>\u00a0was not providing sufficient support.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThree of these teams are foreign-inspired, from my understanding – Iranians, Ukraine, Pakistan – and, you know, the work is obviously challenging to protect\u2014protective detail, like a presidential campaign that is vigorous and out campaigning,\u201d <\/strong><\/em>Gaetz said.<\/p>\n

Matt Gaetz says the DHS knows of 5 assassination teams targeting President Trump, 3 of which are “inspired by other governments,” 2 of which are domestic.<\/p>\n

Gaetz didn\u2019t go into detail about the alleged assassination teams.<\/p>\n

Sunday\u2019s would-be assassin,\u00a0Ryan Routh<\/a>, may have been the Ukrainian-inspired conspiracy he referred to. <\/strong>As has been widely documented, Routh went to Ukraine in 2022 and claimed to have helped recruit fighters for the country\u2019s war against Russia.<\/p>\n

Routh\u2019s actions in Ukraine apparently disturbed his colleagues there. One of them, a nurse named Chelsea Walsh, reported him to\u00a0Customs and Border Protection<\/a>\u00a0in June 2022.<\/p>\n

Walsh again reported him to the FBI and Interpol last year, after she heard that was attempting to recruit Syrian refugees to fight in Ukraine.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe filed an online report with the FBI and Interpol outlining her concerns about Routh and others, she said. Neither Customs nor the FBI followed up with her,\u201d<\/strong><\/em> the WSJ reported earlier this week.<\/p>\n

One of the other plots cited by Gaetz is likely related to the Pakistani man\u00a0arrested on July 12<\/a>\u00a0for allegedly trying to hire undercover FBI agents to assassinate Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

Internal\u00a0FBI<\/a>\u00a0documents leaked to Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, earlier this month included new information about the Pakistani terrorist\u2019s alleged Iranian handler, as well as his movements and interactions in the U.S.<\/p>\n

Both Merchant and Routh have pled not guilty in their respective cases.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
