Trump orders Secret Service to hand over data regarding attempted assassinations

President Donald Trump has just ordered the U.S. Secret Service to hand over all information it has regarding the two attempts on Trump's life. 

Trump revealed that he has taken this step in a recent interview with the New York Post. 

There, he said that he wants "every bit of information" that the agency has about the assassination attempts.

"I’m entitled to know," he said.

Background

There, of course, were two attempts made on Trump's last year.

"Trump was shot in the ear July 13 in Butler, Pennsylvania, while speaking at an outdoor campaign rally by 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, who was killed by the Secret Service after shooting at Trump, killing a rally attendee and injuring two others," Fox News reports.

Then, the second attempt took place about two months later, in September 2023,

The outlet continues, "Two months later, Ryan Routh, 59, allegedly waited for over 12 hours in brush with a rifle on the perimeter of the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach as Trump was golfing Sept. 15."

Both attempts led to significant scrutiny of the Secret Service, with many asking how the agency could possibly have allowed these attempts on Trump's life to take place. After all, both attempted assassins were able to get themselves into locations that they should have never been able to access.

Months have passed with no answers

To this day, we really do not have the answers to questions about how the assassination attempts were allowed to be carried out. The story has just sort of died out, with many seemingly forgetting about it.

Trump, though, clearly has not forgotten about it, which is evidenced by the fact that he is now taking a more direct route to get information from the Secret Service about what exactly happened.

"I want to find out about the two assassins. Why did the one guy have six cellphones, and why did the other guy have [foreign] apps? I’m entitled to know. And they held it back long enough" Trump asked.

One would think that Trump has a much better chance of getting answers now that he has replaced the leader of the Secret Service. Trump has chosen Sean Curran for the position.

Curran has protected Trump for some time, as a member of the Secret Service. He was there, putting his life on the line for Trump, during the assassination attempts, and Trump has referred to him as "a Great Patriot." We'll have to see if we finally get some answers.
