\n“One of two men criminally charged with impersonating Department of Homeland Security law enforcement agents in Washington, D.C., offered to give an assault rifle worth $2,000 to a U.S. Secret Service agent who was assigned to the protective detail of first lady Jill Biden, a court filing says.
\nThat filing also says that one of the defendants, Arian Taherzadeh, lent what was purported to be a \u201cgovernment vehicle\u201d to the wife of that Secret Service agent, who was not identified by name, and that Taherzadeh \u201calso provided her with a generator.\u201d
\nThe Secret Service agent lived in a Washington apartment building on the floor below Taherzadeh\u2019s apartment, according to the filing, which was written by an FBI agent in support of the criminal complaint against Taherzadeh, 40, and his 35-year-old co-defendant, Haider Ali.
\nAli allegedly told witnesses in the case that he had connections to ISI, the Pakistani intelligence agency, a prosecutor said during a court hearing Thursday.
\nTaherzadeh also allegedly gave members of the Secret Service and an employee of the Department of Homeland Security \u201crent-free apartments (with a total yearly rent of over $40,000 per apartment), iPhones, surveillance systems, a drone, a flat-screen television, a case for storing an assault rifle, a generator and law enforcement paraphernalia,\u201d the filing says.
\nOne of those agents was assigned to protect the White House as part of the Secret Service\u2019s uniformed division, the filing said.
\nThat agent lived rent-free in a three-bedroom apartment provided by Taherzadeh at the same complex, according to the filing, which said the residence normally would rent for more than $48,000 annually.”\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
