There were at least two known assassination attempts against President Donald Trump during the 2024 campaign, but relatively little information has been publicly released about the would-be assassins who perpetrated those incidents.

Trump recently implied that the prior Biden-Harris administration tried to cover up what happened by publicly ordering the U.S. Secret Service to divulge to him everything that is known to the agency about the two men who tried to kill him, the New York Post reported over the weekend.

The president's remarks strongly suggest that despite being targeted for death at least twice in the past year, he has not yet been made privy to all that has been discovered about the two armed individuals who sought to end his life prematurely.

Trump wants to know everything about his attempted killers

"I want to find out about the two assassins," President Trump told the Post in an exclusive interview. "Why did the one guy have six cell phones and why did the other guy have [foreign] apps?"

The outlet noted that Thomas Crooks, 20, who opened fire on Trump at an outdoor rally in July in Butler, Pennsylvania, from a nearby rooftop and grazed his ear, also killing one rally-goer and wounding two others before he was killed by a countersniper, was found to have several encrypted messaging apps based in foreign countries on his phone.

Likewise, Ryan Routh, 59, who tried to ambush Trump at his golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida, in September but was chased away by Secret Service agents, only to be caught later by local law enforcement, was found to have six cellphones in his vehicle.

"No more holding back because of Biden," Trump continued, implying that his predecessor in the White House was the reason he'd been kept in the dark about the attempts on his life last year.

Telling the Post that he wanted the Secret Service to give him "every bit of information" about the two would-be assassins, he added, "I’m entitled to know. And they held it back long enough. No excuses."

Possible Iranian connection?

There had been significant news coverage of those two assassination attempts, at least initially, but the media had far less to say about alleged efforts by the Islamic Republic of Iran to assassinate President Trump in retaliation for his ordered airstrike in 2020 to take out top military commander General Qassem Soleimani, according to The National News Desk.

It is unknown if Iran was linked to either of the assassination attempts made by Crooks or Routh, but the adversarial nation was not shy about its desire to end Trump's life and has likely made other attempts to kill him over the past few years.

Recently asked by reporters at the White House about the Iranian threats to kill him, Trump suggested he'd made plans for such a contingency and replied, "That would be a terrible thing for them to do. Not because of me, they would be obliterated. I’ve left instructions. If they do it, they get obliterated. There won’t be anything left."

Secret Service failures exposed by Congress

To be sure, while relatively little has been publicly released about the two would-be assassins -- somewhat understandable in the case of Routh, who is facing prosecution later this year -- a congressional task force released substantial information in a report last year about the failures and shortcomings of President Trump's Secret Service protective detail, including more than three dozen recommendations for improvements.

"The failures that led to the tragic events of July 13 were not entirely isolated to the campaign event itself, or the days preceding it," the congressional report stated. "Preexisting issues in leadership and training created an environment in which the specific failures identified above could occur."

"Secret Service personnel with little to no experience in advance planning roles were given significant responsibility, despite the July 13 event being held at a higher-risk outdoor venue with many line of sight issues, in addition to specific intelligence about a long-range threat," the report added. "Further, some of the Secret Service agents in significant advance planning roles did not clearly understand the delineation of their responsibilities."
