FBI Director Christopher Wray has pledged to dedicate the full resources of the FBI to investigate the recent assassination attempts against former President Trump. Speaking at the Aspen Cyber Summit, Wray assured the public that the FBI, along with other federal and state agencies, is actively working on the case.
Wray expressed relief that Trump was unharmed and emphasized the seriousness of the situation, referring to it as an attack on democracy. He highlighted the comprehensive approach being taken in the investigation, involving a wide range of FBI personnel from criminal and national security experts to forensic scientists and technology specialists.
The incident in question took place in West Palm Beach, where suspect Ryan Wesley Routh allegedly attempted to assassinate Trump while lying in wait on a golf course for nearly 12 hours before being apprehended by the Secret Service. Routh has been charged with federal gun crimes and is currently in custody awaiting his next court appearance.
Following the assassination attempt, Secret Service acting director Ronald Rowe and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis have also initiated investigations into the incident at both federal and state levels. The seriousness of the situation has prompted a swift and coordinated response from law enforcement agencies.
Meanwhile, Trump and his supporters have criticized Democrats for what they perceive as inflammatory rhetoric that may incite violence against the former president. The investigation into the assassination attempts is ongoing, with law enforcement agencies working diligently to uncover the motives and circumstances surrounding the incident.
