Overview
- During a nearly two-hour New York Times interview, Trump played the video on a laptop, and reporters told him the angle did not show an ICE officer being run over.
- After insisting the driver “ran him over,” Trump hesitated when viewing the clip with reporters and called the scene “terrible” and “horrible to watch.”
- The video Trump posted to Truth Social highlighted gunshots but omitted earlier moments described in other footage in which Renee Nicole Good appeared to wave agents to go around.
- TheWrap reports that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem labeled the incident an “act of domestic terrorism,” while a Times analysis of multiple angles found the vehicle appeared to be turning away as shots were fired.
- Top Trump adviser Tom Homan initially told CBS News he would not judge the circulating video, then appeared to walk back that stance as scrutiny grew.
