 Iran Assassination Plots ‘Extraordinarily Serious’

By Michael Katz   | Newsmax Iran's efforts to assassinate Donald Trump and former senior officials in retaliation for the drone strike that killed Qassem Soleimani are more extensive and aggressive than previously believed, Politico reported Friday. "This is extraordinarily serious," Matt Olsen, the Department of Justice's assistant attorney general for national security, told Politico. "Iran has made it very clear that they are determined to seek retaliation against former officials in connection with the Soleimani strike." Iran has not been hiding its intentions to assassinate Trump and those who oversaw his national security strategy since January 2020, when Trump ordered a drone strike that killed Soleimani, Iran's most powerful military general, at an Iraqi air...

Man arrested outside Trump Coachella rally denies assassination intent; he’s ‘all in’ supporting Trump

By Stepheny Price , Bryan Preston | Fox News The man being accused of a potential third assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump spoke with Fox News Digital and says the claims against him are false in his first extended interview since his arrest.  Vem Miller, 49, said he reported the guns to authorities, which he says he always travels with despite never using them, at a checkpoint to get into Trump's Coachella rally on Saturday evening and denied that documents Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco said were fake are legit.  His arrest on gun charges sparked speculation, following two assassination attempts on Trump since July. But he was quickly released on $5,000 bail and so far, no federal charges have been filed. READ THE FULL S...

Trump set to hold ’emotional’ rally in Butler, site of assassination attempt

By Brett Samuels  | The Hill Former President Trump is set to return to Butler, Pa., for what is likely to be a highly charged rally, nearly three months after a bullet grazed his ear at the same site in an attempted assassination. The former president told NewsNation this week he felt he had an “obligation” to return to the site of the shooting, which killed one rallygoer. “We never finished what we were supposed to do. And I said that I said that day when I was shot, I said, we’re coming back. We’re going to come back,” Trump said. The Butler shooting upended the presidential campaign and, along with a second alleged assassination attempt on Trump last month, has thrust the Secret Service into the political spotlight.

Iran has already made attempts on Trump’s life that ‘didn’t work out,’ he says

By Olivia Land andCaitlin Doornbos | New York Post Former President Donald Trump revealed early Wednesday that Iran is behind ongoing plots to assassinate him — unprecedented activity by a US adversary. “Big threats on my life by Iran. The entire U.S. [sic] Military is watching and waiting,” Trump, 78, wrote on Truth Social — just hours after Ryan Wesley Routh was charged with attempting to assassinate Trump on his South Florida golf course earlier this month. “Moves were already made by Iran that didn’t work out, but they will try again. Not a good situation for anyone,” the Republican nominee for president continued. “I am surrounded by more men, guns, and weapons than I have ever seen before. Thank you to Congr...

Authorities charge man with attempting to assassinate Donald Trump

By Hailey Gomez | Daily Caller Federal prosecutors formally charged 58-year-old Ryan Wesley Routh on Tuesday with attempting to assassinate a major political candidate, according to court documents.

Ryan Routh admits to ‘assassination attempt’ in purported letter released by DOJ

By Awr Hawkins | Breitbart Fifty-eight-year-old Ryan Wesley Routh, the alleged would-be assassination in Palm Beach on September 14, 2024, allegedly left a note with a friend making clear his intent to kill former President Donald Trump. Forbes reported the handwritten missive is also allegedly an admission that his attempt to do so had failed. The note said, “This was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump but I failed you…I tried my best and gave it all the gumption I could muster.” Routh allegedly added, “I will offer $150,000 to whomever can complete the job.” The note was allegedly contained in a box which Routh gave to an unidentified person and which was not opened until after Routh’s arrest following the alleged assassination attempt.

Secret Service boss says vital info not relayed over radio, delaying response to would-be rally assassin

By Michael Ruiz and David Spunt | Fox News U.S. Secret Service (USSS) leaders are holding a 1 p.m. update on the agency's internal investigation following the July 13 assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Acting Director Ronald Rowe said the agency had confirmed "communication deficiencies" that slowed its response when the gunman climbed up on a rooftop just outside the secure perimeter. "For example, the Secret Service did not co-locate its security room with local law enforcement," he said. "There was an over-reliance on mobile devices, resulting in information being siloed."

Bomb threats used by media to excuse second Trump assassination attempt have no ‘validity at all’

By Fred Lucas | The Federalist Within hours of the second assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump on Sunday, NBC News’ Lester Holt tried to excuse the political violence by linking Trump to unsubstantiated bomb threats in Springfield, Ohio. “Today’s apparent assassination attempt comes amid increasingly fierce rhetoric on the campaign trail itself,” Holt said. “Mr. Trump, his running mate JD Vance, continue to make baseless claims about Haitian immigrants in [Springfield] Ohio. This weekend, there were new bomb threats in that town.” But Republican Gov. Mike DeWine confirmed Monday that all 33 bomb threats were hoaxes. READ THE FULL STORY AT THE FEDERALIST
