Details of assassination attempts against Trump
The first attempt occurred in July during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, where Trump was shot in the ear.
The assailant was killed at the scene. The second attempt took place in September at Trump’s golf club in Palm Beach, Florida.
This time, the would-be assassin was apprehended before opening fire and now faces charges of attempted first-degree murder and terrorism. The trial is scheduled for September.
President Trump’s concerns
During the interview, Trump referred to the perpetrators as "a couple of nut jobs" and expressed uncertainty about the motives behind the attacks.
He also highlighted a peculiar detail about one suspect, who was found with "18 telephones" at the time of arrest.
"It has not been explained to me perfectly by the Secret Service or the FBI," Trump stated. "We have somebody, two good people running that, and I would like to hear the explanation."
The president emphasised his right to be informed, even if the findings are not made public.
"Even if it's not released to the public, I should be allowed to hear it," he added. "And I might very well release it to the public."
