A Pakistani terrorist recruited by Iranian spies was convicted Friday of cooking up a half-baked plot to kill President Trump, detailing the plan with an absurdly crude drawing.   Asif Merchant, 48, was found guilty of murder-for-hire and terrorism charges after a Brooklyn jury — which deliberated for less than two hours — rejected his claim that he was forced into the bungling murder scheme because Iran had “threatened” his family. FBI secret cameras caught Merchant in June 2024 outlining his plans to whack then-candidate Trump at a GOP rally during a meeting with a would-be recruit inside the Floral Park Motor Lodge in Queens.
