Trump Discusses Melania's Reaction to Assassination Attempt

Former President Donald Trump revealed that his wife, Melania Trump, is still struggling to discuss the assassination attempt that occurred earlier this month. In an interview with Fox News's The Ingraham Angle, he shared that Melania was watching the incident unfold live and was deeply affected, believing the worst had happened. Trump noted her silence on the matter, suggesting it reflects her affection for him, stating, “Let’s say she could talk about it freely, that wouldn’t be — I’m not so sure which is better.” The former president, who was grazed by a bullet during the attack at a Pennsylvania campaign rally on July 13, expressed that he is feeling well despite the incident. He confirmed his willingness to cooperate with the FBI for a victim interview as part of their ongoing investigation into the assassination attempt. This event has led to significant scrutiny of the Secret Service, prompting several Republican lawmakers to call for an investigation. In light of the criticism, Trump commended the bravery of Secret Service agents who responded quickly during the chaos. Following the incident, Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle resigned after testifying before the House Oversight Committee. The House has since voted unanimously to form a task force aimed at investigating the assassination attempt and addressing the security lapses that resulted in one fatality and multiple injuries, including Trump himself.
