US President Joe Biden praised the work of the Secret Service and law enforcement after the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.
The current President Joe Biden responded to another possible assassination attempt on Donald Trump and ordered the authorities to use all resources to protect the politician. It was announced on Sunday, September 15, on the White House website.
“My team has informed me that federal law enforcement is investigating a possible assassination attempt on former President Trump. A suspect is in custody,” Biden said.
The US President said he commends the Secret Service and their law enforcement partners for their vigilance and efforts to ensure the safety of the former US President and his entourage.
“I’m glad the former president wasn’t hurt,” Biden said.
Biden also condemned political violence and “violence of any kind” and said he had ordered his team to make sure the Secret Service has all the resources it needs to protect the former president.
According to the Associated Press, the suspect in the new attack on Donald Trump while he was playing golf is 58-year-old Ryan Wesley Root.
According to Fox News, Root approached Trump within about 400 meters and pushed the barrel of an automatic weapon into the fence. The Secret Service noticed the attacker in time and opened fire, but he managed to escape. The suspect was later detained.
Journalists wrote that during his arrest they found two backpacks and a GoPro camera, and an AK-47 assault rifle was allegedly found in the bushes near the scene of the incident. Also, the newspaper writes, in his social networks he expresses support for Ukraine and recruits foreigners to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. According to OSINTdefender, Ruth also tried to join the international legion, but these attempts were unsuccessful.
