President Donald Trump has announced plans to release reports detailing the assassination attempts against him during the 2024 presidential campaign, expressing frustration over the lack of publicly available information.

Speaking from the Oval Office, Trump assured reporters that he intends to provide transparency regarding the attacks that nearly cost him his life.

During a press briefing, Fox News’ Peter Doocy questioned Trump about the status of the investigation into the July 13, 2024, shooting at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

“It’s been seven months. Why do you think we don’t know more about the guy who shot you in the ear?” Doocy asked.

Trump responded, “We can no longer blame Biden for that one. He should have released that a long time ago. So they are giving me a report next week sometime and I do believe I’ll be releasing. I want to release the report, a lot of people have asked that question.”

Trump survived two separate assassination attempts in 2024.

The first attack occurred at a rally near Butler, Pennsylvania, when Thomas Matthew Crooks, a 20-year-old gunman, opened fire from an elevated position 400 feet away.

Trump was struck in the upper right ear, and one rally attendee was killed, while two others were critically injured.

Secret Service counter-snipers returned fire within seconds, killing Crooks on the scene.

A bipartisan Senate report later identified technical failures and security lapses as contributing factors in the incident.

The second attempt took place on September 15, 2024, at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida.

Ryan Wesley Routh, the suspect in that incident, was armed with a rifle and hiding in the bushes near the golf course.

A Secret Service agent spotted him and opened fire, prompting Routh to flee before being captured while attempting to drive away.

Routh has since pleaded not guilty to the charges, and his preliminary trial is scheduled for September 8, 2025.

Trump raised concerns about both suspects, particularly their access to technology and legal representation.

“You had one who had three apps, two of which were foreign supposedly, and who has the biggest white shoe law firm in Pennsylvania, even though they don’t live in necessarily a white shoe area,” Trump said, referring to Crooks.

He also pointed out questionable details about Routh, particularly the number of phones in his possession.

“On the second assassin… I have to tell you, Secret Service did a great job on that by spotting them. But on the second one, he had six cell phones. That’s a lot of cell phones. And a couple of them had some strange markings on them. So yeah, I want to find out.”

Trump acknowledged that while he intends to release the full report, some information may need to remain classified for security reasons.

“I would be willing to release it. I mean, maybe there’s a reason that we shouldn’t, so I don’t want to get too far ahead of my skis, but yeah, I would be very willing to release that. I’d like to see it.”

The forthcoming report is expected to renew scrutiny on both assassination attempts, raising questions about security failures and possible political motivations.

Trump has previously criticized federal agencies, including the FBI, for a lack of transparency regarding these incidents.

His decision to release the findings could provide the public with new details about the attacks and the ongoing investigations.
