Trump assassination attempt

The federal judge presiding over former President Donald Trump's classified documents case dismissed the prosecution this morning, handing him a major court victory. The decision comes less than 48 hours after Trump narrowly escaped an assassination attempt.

The FBI said it was investigating the assassination attempt as a potential act of domestic terrorism. But the absence of a clear ideological motive by the man shot dead by the Secret Service has led conspiracy theories to flourish.

Biden called for the country to “unite as one nation,” promised a “thorough and swift" review of the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump.
