President Donald Trump says he’d be willing to release reports on assassination attempts
President Donald Trump expressed his ongoing desire to uncover the truth surrounding the assassination attempt on his life that took place seven months ago during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. During an executive order signing at the White House, the president stated, “I want to find the answers. I’ve told them. We can no longer blame Biden for that one. He should have released that a long time ago.”
The incident in question occurred on July 13, when gunman Thomas Crooks fatally shot rally attendee Corey Comperatore and critically wounded two others, David Dutch and James Copenhaver, in an attempt to kill President Trump. The president himself was grazed in the ear by a bullet. The Secret Service investigation into the rally concluded that the agency’s response was a “failure” and called for various operational, policy, and organizational changes.
Two months later, Trump survived a second assassination attempt while golfing at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida. Ryan Routh allegedly tried to assassinate the president and remains in federal custody. During a media Q&A session in the Oval Office, Trump informed reporters that he would be receiving a report detailing both incidents in the coming week.
The president expressed suspicions about the individuals involved in the assassination attempts, noting Crooks’ possession of multiple foreign cellphone apps and Routh’s collection of numerous cellphones. Trump questioned the motives behind these actions and emphasized the need for transparency in the investigation.
Despite the lack of information surrounding the incidents, Trump commended the Secret Service for their efforts in intercepting Routh, who was allegedly aiming a rifle at one of Trump’s security details. The president expressed a willingness to release the report once he had reviewed its contents.
In conclusion, President Trump’s determination to uncover the truth behind the assassination attempts demonstrates his commitment to justice and transparency. As the investigation progresses, the American people can expect further updates on this critical issue.
