President Donald Trump has announced that he will be releasing reports on the assassination attempts against him, promising transparency regarding the attacks that nearly took his life during the 2024 presidential campaign. Speaking to reporters from the Oval Office, Trump expressed his frustration over the lack of information available to the public and vowed to release details soon.
“It’s been seven months. Why do you think we don’t know more about the guy who shot you in the ear?” Fox News’ Peter Doocy asked Thursday.
“We can no longer blame Biden for that one,” Trump responded. “He should have released that a long time ago. So they are giving me a report next week sometime and I do believe I’ll be releasing. I want to release the report, a lot of people have asked that question.”
Trump was the target of two assassination attempts in 2024. The first occurred on July 13, 2024, at a campaign rally near Butler, Pennsylvania, when Thomas Matthew Crooks, a 20-year-old gunman, opened fire from an elevated position 400 feet away.
Trump was struck in the upper right ear, and one attendee was killed while two others sustained critical injuries. Secret Service counter-snipers responded
