Suspect in apparent Trump assassination attempt charged with 2 firearm counts

Former President Trump recalled Sunday’s apparent assassination attempt during an event on the social media platform X on Monday evening, saying he heard the shots from Secret Service agents.

The former president said he and a friend he was golfing with “we heard shots being fired in the air, and I guess probably four or five, and it sounded like bullets. But what do I know about that? But Secret Service knew immediately it was bullets, and they grabbed me.”

“So we’re in the group, and everybody just, we got into the carts and we moved along pretty good,” he said.

Trump said an agent “had seen a barrel of a AK-47, which is a very powerful gun, rifle, and he started shooting at the barrel, he started shooting in the bushes. He could only see the barrel.”

Reflecting on the July assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, Trump said, “That was some crazy day, and yesterday you had another one with a different result, actually much better result,” because nobody was killed or wounded. 

One person was killed and two others were wounded by the shooter in the July attempt.

Trump also said of President Biden, “He was very nice, that he called up to make sure that I was OK.”

Jake Rosen contributed reporting.
