Trump assassination attempt: The Standard podcast

Listen here on your chosen podcast platform.

Investigators continue to piece together evidence for a motive leading to the assassination attempt on former US president Donald Trump.

The shooting left a former fire chief dead and wounded two other people at the Pennsylvania rally, plus Trump, after the gunman’s bullet struck his ear.

Volunteer firefighter Corey Comperatore was killed while trying to protect his family from the bullets.

The gunman, named as Thomas Matthew Crooks, opened fire at the rally in Butler and was himself shot dead by snipers.

But there are now serious questions about police and Secret Service response to the incident.

The assassination attempt is also reframing Republican Trump’s bitter presidential contest against Democrat incumbent Joe Biden.

For the latest, we’re joined by Evening Standard deputy political editor Jitendra Joshi.

Plus, in part two, as Gareth Southgate’s pride of lions fly home after their 2-1 Euro 2024 loss to Spain in the Berlin final, we look at England’s Euros tournament highlights, with Evening Standard reporter Robert Dex.
