This seems pretty wild to publicly release.

They didnt.

 

US authorities obtained intelligence from a human source in recent weeks on a plot by Iran to try to assassinate Donald Trump, a development that led to the Secret Service increasing security around the former president in recent weeks, multiple people briefed on the matter told CNN.

Dude, Iran has publicly stated that they were going to eventually punish those that planned the killing of dipshit going back to when it happened. There’s a list. 
 

“Iran has made clear its desire for retribution one way or another. As the first anniversary of the Suleimani strike approached in early January 2021, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s supreme leader, warned publicly that “those who ordered the murder of General Suleimani” would “be punished.” Mr. Trump, about to enter his final weeks in office, told Florida friends at a holiday cocktail party that he was concerned that Iran would try to assassinate him.

In 2022, the Justice Department charged a member of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps with planning to assassinate Mr. Bolton, a plan thwarted by an informant who posed as a would-be assassin. Documents filed in court indicated that an Iranian operative had obtained details of Mr. Bolton’s movements that were not publicly known at the time.

Mr. Bolton was granted government security protection after the threat against him materialized, as was Mr. Pompeo. Others who have been reported to be targeted include Robert O’Brien, another former national security adviser to Mr. Trump; Mark T. Esper, the defense secretary at the time of the strike on Mr. Suleimani; Gen. Kenneth F. McKenzie Jr., a former head of the U.S. Central Command who oversaw the operation; and Brian Hook, the State Department special envoy for Iran under Mr. Trump.”
