FBI Investigates Second Assassination Attempt on Donald Trump

Donald Trump Golf Course
By Jim Peterson on September 21, 2024

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) confirmed that the agency is now investigating what it believes is the second assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump’s life. “The FBI has responded to West Palm Beach Florida and is investigating what appears to be an attempted assassination of former President Trump,” the agency said in a statement on Sunday.

As Breitbart News reported, President Trump’s campaign announced Sunday afternoon that the 45th president is safe following gunfire transpiring in his vicinity. “President Trump is safe following gunshots in his vicinity,” Trump campaign Communications Director Steven Cheung said in a statement. “No further details at this time.”

The gunshots were reportedly fired while Trump was at Trump National Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, where he was golfing on Sunday. This is the second assassination attempt President Trump has survived in the span of two months.

Donald Trump Jr. later announced that a suspect has been apprehended and an AK-47 rifle was found in the bushes at Trump National, citing law enforcement officials. “Again folks! SHOTS FIRED at Trump Golf Course in West Palm Beach, Florida,” Trump Jr. said. “An AK-47 was discovered in the bushes, per local law enforcement. The Trump campaign has released a statement confirming former President Trump is safe.”

The first assassination attempt was carried out on July 13, while the 45th president was delivering remarks at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Trump was shot in the ear, narrowly avoiding death, as he so happened to turn his head to look at a chart that had been displayed the moment would-be presidential assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire.

The assassination attempt, however, resulted in the death of former fire chief Corey Comperatore, and severely injured two other rally goers, David Dutch and James Copenhaver. The U.S. Secret Service has faced heavy backlash in response to the July 13 assassination attempt.

Ten days later, Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle resigned following a scathing congressional hearing in which she was unable or unwilling to answer many key questions from lawmakers on the agency’s failure to protect President Trump.
