Attorney General Garland Vows Accountability In Trump Assassination Attempt

Donald Trump to testify in New York civil fraud trial

Attorney General Merrick Garland has assured the public that the law enforcement community is fully committed to investigating the recent apparent assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. The incident, which took place last weekend in Florida, has prompted a swift and thorough response from federal and state authorities.

During a recent event at the Justice Department’s headquarters in Washington, DC, Garland stated, “The FBI is continuing to investigate the apparent assassination attempt of the former president that occurred on Sunday in Florida. We are grateful that he is safe.” He emphasized the collaborative efforts of various agencies, including the FBI, the US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida, and the National Security Division, in working closely with local law enforcement partners to ensure a comprehensive investigation.

Garland further affirmed, “We will all work together to tirelessly determine accountability in this matter. We will spare no resource in this investigation.” The suspect in the incident, Ryan Wesley Routh, has already been charged with two gun-related crimes, with the possibility of additional charges pending as the investigation progresses.

The Attorney General’s commitment to pursuing accountability in this case underscores the seriousness with which law enforcement is approaching the matter. The safety and security of all individuals, including former presidents, remain a top priority for the Justice Department and its partners.
