The Justice Department on Friday charged three men with plotting to murder a Brooklyn-based Iranian-American dissident.

The Justice Department gave top billing to the new charges with a rare DC press conference featuring Attorney General Merrick Garland, FBI Director Christopher Wray, and Manhattan US Attorney Damian Williams.
