Following the apparent attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, FBI Director Christopher Wray has assured the public that the FBI is diligently working on the investigation. Wray emphasized the seriousness of the incident, stating that it was another attack on democracy and the democratic process.
During the Aspen Cyber Summit, Wray expressed relief that former President Trump was unharmed and highlighted the FBI's commitment to uncovering the truth behind the incident. The FBI is currently leading the probe into the 58-year-old man, Ryan Wesley Routh, who authorities believe was planning to attack the former president while he was playing golf at his West Palm Beach course over the weekend. Routh is now facing two federal gun charges in connection with the incident.
Wray confirmed that the investigation is ongoing and that the FBI has mobilized all available resources to ensure a thorough examination of the case. The bureau has deployed tactical support, evidence response teams, and forensic scientists to aid in the investigation. Wray reiterated the FBI's dedication to resolving the matter and bringing those responsible to justice.
