United States President Donald Trump has directed the Secret Service to provide him with “every bit of information” known about his two attempted assassins last summer during the presidential campaign.
According to Trump, the Secret Service had been holding back such information because of former President Joe Biden.
“I’m entitled to know,” Trump told the New York Post.
“I want to find out about the two assassins. . . . Why did the one guy have six cell phones and why did the other guy have [foreign] apps?
“No more holding back because of Biden. . . . I’m entitled to know. And they [ Secret Service] held it back long enough. No excuses.”
Recall that Trump was shot in the ear on July 13, 2024, in Butler, Pennsylvania.
The Republican was speaking at an outdoor campaign rally when he was shot at by 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, who was later killed by the Secret Service after shooting at Trump.
The bullet from Crooks’ gun killed a rally attendee and injured two others.
Also, two months later, 59-year-old Ryan Routh attempted to assassinate Trump.
Rough allegedly waited for over 12 hours with a rifle on the perimeter of the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach as Trump was golfing.
