Trump Demands Full Disclosure on Two Attempted Assassinations

The former president has ordered the Secret Service to provide all information on the suspects involved in last year's attacks, citing withheld details and security concerns.

• Donald Trump has directed the Secret Service to release all information regarding two assassination attempts against him in 2024, claiming details were held back during Joe Biden's presidency.
• The first attempt occurred in July 2024 at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, where Trump was shot in the ear by 19-year-old Thomas Crooks, who was killed by law enforcement at the scene.
• The second attempt happened in September 2024 near Trump's golf club in West Palm Beach, Florida, involving 59-year-old Ryan Routh, who was arrested and is awaiting trial later this year.
• Investigators found encrypted messaging accounts on Crooks' devices linked to foreign platforms and six cellphones in Routh's car, raising concerns about potential international connections.
• Trump's national security advisor, Michael Waltz, has called for a comprehensive investigation, with further details expected to emerge during Routh's trial in September 2025.
