A Federal Aviation Administration employee in New Hampshire was arrested for allegedly threatening to kill President Donald Trump, whom he criticized for the war against Iran, the U.S. attorney’s office in Concord said Tuesday.
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.
DelleChiaie is charged with interstate communication of a threat against the president.
He works in mechanical engineering in the FAA, according to the online site Open Payrolls, which tracks pay for federal employees.
DelleChiaie appeared on Tuesday morning in U.S. District Court in New Hampshire. Details of that hearing were not immediately available from the prosecutor’s office.
A spokesperson for the U.S. attorney’s office declined to comment on the hearing.
The FAA, when contacted for comment, including about details of DelleChiaie’s current job status, referred the request to prosecutors.
If convicted, DelleChiaie faces a maximum possible sentence of five years in prison, and a $250,000 fine.
Former FBI Director James Comey was charged on April 28 in a federal indictment with threatening to kill Trump by posting a photo on Instagram of seashells on a North Carolina beach arranged to form the numbers “86 47.”
“86” is slang for ejecting or removing a person, according to dictionaries, and Trump is the 47th president of the United States. Trump said last year he believed that Comey, who has long been an antagonist of his, was calling for his assassination.
Comey, who remains free without bond, has said he is innocent in that case, and his attorney has said he plans to seek dismissal of the indictment on the grounds of vindictive prosecution by the Department of Justice.
Another defendant, Cole Tomas Allen, is charged with trying to assassinate Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner in Washington, on April 25.
Allen was tackled by Secret Service agents that night after he stormed through a security checkpoint at the Washington Hilton Hotel, a floor above where Trump and top officials in his administration were dining with hundreds of journalists.
Allen allegedly fired a shot from the shotgun he was carrying that night, hitting a Secret Service agent’s protective vest, according to U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro.
Allen is being held without bond.
