CONCORD – Dean DelleChiaie, 35, of Nashua, appeared in federal court on May 1 after he allegedly threatened the life of President Donald Trump.

According to U.S. Attorney Erin Creegan’s Office, on April 21, DelleChiaie reportedly sent an email to the White House with the subject line “Contact the President.” The email stated: “I, Dean DelleChiaie, am going (to) neutralize/kill you – Donald John Trump – because you decided to kill kids – and say that it was War – when in reality – it is terrorism. God knows your actions and where you belong.”

In January, DelleChiaie, a mechanical engineer for the Federal Aviation Administration, reportedly used his government-issued work computer to conduct a series of online searches about how to get a gun into a federal facility, prior 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.”

In his affidavit, Special Agent Nathanael Gamble of the U.S. Secret Service said DelleChiaie asked the FAA’s Information Technology Department to delete the search history from his work computer. During that process, FAA officials discovered “concerning searches” and alerted the Secret Service. DelleChiaie’s employment has since been suspended.

DelleChiaie was interviewed by the Secret Service in February. During the interview, he reportedly expressed remorse for using his work computer to conduct the online searches. He also admitted to owning a hunting rifle and two handguns.

“DelleChiaie realized he should not search these subjects and that it was crazy for him to do this on his work computer,” said Gamble. “DelleChiaie stated he had no 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.”

Gamble said DelleChiaie was upset with the outcome of the 2024 presidential election, the controversy surrounding the release of the Epstein files and the 1,500 presidential pardons that have been granted, largely to those who stormed the U.S. Capitol Building on Jan. 6, 2021.

In addition, DelleChiaie claimed that he was sexually assaulted by a co-worker; however, FAA officials were unable to verify that such an incident ever occurred.

Also during the interview, DelleChiaie said he sees a therapist for depression and has been using Ketamine Therapy.

DelleChiaie has been charged with interstate communication of a threat against the president.

Under federal law, if convicted, he could face up to five years in prison and a fine of $250,000.
