FAA employee arrested after allegedly using work computer to threaten Trump

A shocking incident unfolded on Monday as a Federal Aviation Administration employee was arrested for allegedly making threats against the president. Dean DelleChiaie, a 35-year-old resident of Nashua, New Hampshire, was apprehended for using his work computer to research plans to harm the president, according to prosecutors.

It is reported that DelleChiaie utilized his government-issued computer to search for information on how to smuggle a gun into a federal facility. Additionally, he allegedly made disturbing searches related to past assassination attempts on President Trump, the proportion of the population desiring harm to the president, and even typed out the menacing phrase, “I am going to kill Donald John Trump,” as per the criminal complaint.

Following a meeting with the Secret Service in February, DelleChiaie purportedly confessed to conducting these searches on his work computer. Furthermore, he disclosed owning three firearms, including a handgun stored in a safe at his residence, as stated by prosecutors. The situation escalated on April 21 when DelleChiaie reportedly sent a threatening email to the White House’s email address using his personal account, crossing state lines in the process.

The email, titled “Contact the President,” contained a chilling message directed at President Trump, accusing him of killing children under the guise of war, which DelleChiaie labeled as terrorism. The complaint details the email’s contents, in which DelleChiaie allegedly declared his intent to “neutralize/kill” the president for his actions.

As the legal proceedings unfold, information regarding legal representation for DelleChiaie has not been disclosed. If convicted, he could face a maximum sentence of five years in prison along with a hefty fine of $250,000.

This disturbing incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of vigilance and security measures within government agencies, especially when it comes to safeguarding against internal threats. The gravity of such actions underscores the need for stringent protocols and monitoring to prevent potential acts of violence or harm within sensitive environments.
