Donald Trump to uncover ‘every bit of information’ about would-be assassins from Secret Service: ‘No more holding back’
Donald Trump has ordered Secret Services to provide every bit of information about his two-would be assassins
Months after surviving two assassination attempts, US President Donald Trump has ordered the Secret Services to provide him “every bit of information” about his two would-be assassins, reported the New York Post on Saturday.
In his order to the Secret Service, Donald Trump said that he wanted to know why one of his assassins had multiple phones and a foreign application installed.
“No more holding back because of Biden. . . . I’m entitled to know. And they held it back long enough," New York Post quoted Trump.
Six phones found in Trump's would-be assassin's car
According to New York Post, the security officials had found six cellphones inside Ryan Routh's car. Routh was the prime suspect in the second assassination attempt on Trump in September when he was at his Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, FL.
