Trump hitman’s sick posts calling for cop killings as plot co-conspirator unmasked as dad-of-5 whose brother loves MAGA
SHOCKING threats made by the alleged hitman hired to assassinate Donald Trump have been revealed.
Would-be assassin Carlisle Rivera, 49, shared disturbing messages about murdering cops and branded Trump a “pig” in unearthed Facebook posts.
In one post, he wished “death” on a cop then later shared another message threatening to slap a six-year-old.. and their mother and father too.
In another rant, he said he’d just gotten out of “Facebook jail” after a 30-day ban for saying cops “should be killed themselves.”
Rivera, from New York, is accused, along with Farhad Shakeri and Johnathan Loadholt, of plotting to murder Donald Trump in the run-up to the election.
Rivera was also allegedly paid $1,000 by Shakeri, the believed mastermind behind the plot, to target an Iranian-American activist, and an additional $500,000 to kill two Jewish businessmen living in the US.

The target, identified as Masih Alinejad, an Iranian-American journalist who lives in Brooklyn and had repeatedly been outspoken about the regime.
Rivera was allegedly tailing the Iranian journalist Alinejad and was waiting on a $100,000 (£80,000) payment before trying to kill her.
Shakeri told the FBI that the plot on Trump’s life was in response to a 2020 drone strike that killed Iranian general Qasem Soleimani.
The assassination was planned for the anniversary of the October 7 Hamas attacks on Israel.
Rivera met Shakeri in prison where he was doing time for second-degree murder.
The two hitmen were arrested and charged last week in connection with the plot.
Rivera and Loadholt are both in US custody while Shakeri remains at large in Iran.
Last week, Rivera was pictured following the FBI charges.
Trump has already survived two attempts on his life, including a near-death experience when he was shot in the ear at a Pennsylvania election rally in July.
Timeline of assassination attempts on Trump’s life
July 13 – Thomas Crooks shot Donald Trump in the ear after hiding on a roof overlooking the former President’s outdoor rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Crooks was killed by Secret Service snipers after he fired eight shots at Trump and killed one rallygoer and injured two others.
The bullet came less than a quarter of an inch from striking Trump’s head, Ronny Jackson, the former president’s physician, said.
September 15 – Ryan Routh was seen by a Secret Service agent hiding in the bushes with a rifle at the Trump International Golf Club in Florida.
Trump was playing a round of golf when the alleged would-be assassin managed to get within 400 yard of Trump.
Routh fled the scene in an SUV but was caught by cops and arrested.
September 25 – Donald Trump posts on social media that he’s been informed of an Iranian plot against his life.
October 7 – Farhad Shakeri is given an order by an official in Iran’s Revolutionary Guard to come up with a plan to kill Donald Trump within seven days.
He told the FBI that he never intended to devise a plan in that timeframe, but allegedly discussed it with two hired guns in New York.
November 7 – Carlisle Rivera of Brooklyn and Jonathan Loadholt of Staten Island are arrested in New York for being part of the plot to kill Donald Trump along with three other Americans Iran deemed targets.
Shakeri was born in Afghanistan but grew up in Manassas, Virginia after his parents moved to America for a better life when he was nine years old.
He married and had five children in the States, but in 1994, Shakeri was convicted of robbery and kidnapping and was handed a 21-year sentence before being deported to Afghanistan.
After that, the family moved to Dubai and on to Turkey, before spending time in Afghanistan and Iran.
Shocking details of the sick plot were revealed on Friday after the FBI announced the arrests and noted that a third hitman is still on the loose.
Between February and April, Shakeri exchanged a series of voice messages with his co-defendants, Carlisle Rivera of Brooklyn and Jonathan Loadholt of Staten Island, discussing Alinejad’s whereabouts, routine, and how the victim spent most of her time at home.
Trump’s staff previously said the FBI had foiled the plot but stressed it was unrelated to two assassination attempts during the campaign.
In late September, Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform: “Big threats on my life by Iran. Moves were already made by Iran that didn’t work out, but they will try again. Not a good situation for anyone.
