FAA employee Dean DelleChiaie arrested for threatening to kill President Trump

Dean DelleChiaie, 35, a Federal Aviation Administration contractor from Nashua, New Hampshire, was arrested Monday and appeared in federal court Tuesday on charges of interstate communication of a threat against the president. Prosecutors allege he used his government work computer in January to search for assassination methods and related topics, was questioned by the Secret Service in February, and then sent a personal email to the White House in April explicitly threatening to kill Trump. He reportedly admitted to the searches and told investigators he owned three firearms.
