Fortunately, we are able to locate a witness that came to us and said, hey, i saw the guy running out of the bushes he jumped into a black nissan and i took a picture of the vehicle and the tag, which was great. Police were able to quickly get that information out to surrounding areas and track the Suspects Suv in nearby Martin County from smart, it was just driving with the flow of traffic yeah.

Wolf, laurie Paula Reid, reporting for us. Thank you, paula, very much. I want to get the latest now, im Donald Trumps reaction to this apparent attempt on his life cnns Kristen Holmes is in West Palm Beach, florida for us. Shes near maralago go right now. Kristen, what are you learning about trumps State Of Mind well, ive talked to a number of people who either spoken to the former president in the aftermath of that second Assassination Attempt, orban briefed on conversation ends with them who say that he is in good spirits, that he was making jokes at one point saying that it ruined a wonderful game of golf and noting that he was too under par time that it happened. He apparently told one person that he was going to win in november that he had upped his resolve for that. And at one point, he was asking what the Media Coverage has been of the second Assassination Attempt. All of this to say that it does seem as though his reaction to this has been very different than what we saw in butler, pennsylvania and the right after that event, we saw him call for unity pretty say that the country needed to come together and he was the one who could do it. Now, we see a much different approach. What we have seen in his statements that he has given, including an interview is essentially blaming the biden administration the rhetoric from the biden administration saying that that is the reason he got shot. I think we have some of the excerpt hear from his interview that he did with Fox News digital where he says he the shooter believe the rhetoric of Biden And Harris and he acted on it. Their rhetoric is causing me to be shot at when i am the one who is going to save the country and they are the ones that are destroying the country. Both from inside and out. Again, sources say though that he is in good spirits and that the campaign has not going to change any of its previous plans. He had several events. This week in washington, dc, as well as michigan and uniondale, new york. They say everything on his schedule is going to stay exactly the same. Wolf. All right, kristen, thank you very much, Kristen Holmes on the scene for us as well. I want to break all of this down with our experts right now. And andrew mccabe, youre the former Deputy Director of the fbi. The fbi Special Agent in charge of this current investigation says theyre sending evidence to quantico. There interviewing suspects, friends, and families, and investigating his quote, active online presence. How does all of this come together to understand the suspects actual motive . So wolf, what you heard from fbi Special Agent in charge, Jeff Veltri Today was basically fbi big case, oneonone. This is how the fbi does it. Theres not another Law Enforcement Entity in the world that does it quite as well. You see intense focus on the crime scene, rendering every piece of evidence that they can find wherever theyre cutting leads to other Field Offices like charlotte and honolulu to interview Family Members and associates. This is exactly what you would expect to find. Ultimately, if all of that information will come back to fbi miami, they are the what we call the office of origin or the lead office on the case. They will piece together each one of those facts, each one of those elements of evidence, and put it in a timeline that allows the investigators and the prosecutors to have the most complete understanding of truly rich picture of who this guy was what kind of path he went down and how he ended up Sleeping In The Woods for 12 hours outside the president s golf club, the former president s golf club, waiting to take a shot at the former president United States. I have every confidence that theyll do a sound job in putting that together. I only hope they share it with us at some point. I hope they do as well. Evan perez, youre our senior Justice Department of correspondent. We heard paula just now, lay out those two gun charges. Should we expect the suspect to be charged . Again, once this investigation as moved further along. Yes. Well, thats what the fbi is working working towards. They are still calling this an apparent Assassination Attempt. And what are the key things that we heard there during the Press Conference is that is that. The suspect has lawyered up. Essentially, hes hes not cooperating with investigators and so theyre going to have to do it the hard way, which is some of the things that andy just laid out theyre going to have to go to talk to people around him. Theyre going to have to use some of those Cell Phone records, some of his Social Media accounts, theyre gonna have to figure out where he has been over the last few days. Thats still something that the fbi does not have a clear picture. No that obviously in Cell Phone showed him in that location or in that vicinity for about 12 hours or what happened before that. One of the key ports of parts of this is that you the former president No One knew he was supposed to go there. That was a lastminute thing by the former president to show up at that Golf Course. So why did he did the suspect . And all those, all that time, there. What did he know and how did he know that all of those things are now part of this investigation certainly are andrew, the fact that he was camped out in that position along the trees near the Golf Course for almost 12 hours. What does that tell you and how could how could he have gone undetected for that long knowing that the former president United States, was about to play golf, there it well raises some really important questions for the Secret Service. They are in a tough spot right now because coming off of the attack at butler, they have tried to really up grade their level of protection for the former president and simply to do a better job and it sounds like they did because the system they had in place for yesterday worked the way it was supposed to. The advanced agents found the threat. They eliminated the threat and they got the president out of danger. The problem is the system they had in place was insufficient to identify an attacker with that the Rifle Hiding out probably. I dont know, 20 yards from the Tee Box for the seventh hole so theres got to be some rethinking of the sort of methodology as they referred to it that they are using to protect this president under these circumstances, the fact that they didnt know that person was there and that they were there for as long as they were raises some real concerns about how theyre thinking about protecting the perimeter that edge of security, which sometimes can come very close to the principle youre trying to protect, especially someone has a rifle with a scope it can be extremely, extremely deadly and dangerous. Evan, the Secret Service Acting Director, also weighed in on whether the agency right now needs more resources. What did he say . Well, if he was trying to do both things, he was trying to commend his agents for doing the good thing. Its just a spot this this threat ahead of time, but hes also acknowledging that they need to clearly they need some additional help. Listen to how he put that in the Press Conference, goes back many many service operates under a paradox of Zerofail Mission but also that we have done more with less for decades. And this goes back many, many, many, many decades right . What i can tell you is that we have immediate needs right now and we have great support not only from President Biden and you saw his public statement today, where he said that hes going to direct his staff to make sure that the Secret Service has the resources, its needs. Were having fantastic conversations with members of congress and wolf, one of the facts of the Secret Services that is not a very large agency and the amount of threats, the amount of threats that theyre having to deal with, given the circumstances that were in, is really just much larger than i dont think anyone really expected. And so thats what the agency faces in the coming months and years really yeah, its so important what the Secret Service does, guys. Thank you very, very much.

Both the Vice President and President Biden expressing relief that former President Trump Wasnt hurt and condemning political violence of any kind. This as Kamala Harris has been working very hard to pick up a major endorsement. Cnns Eva Mckend has more on all of this. Eva, the Vice President met with the teamsters earlier today. First of all, what came of that meeting . Well, wolf, we could get an update from the teamsters later this week as Leadership Confers with their members, but listen the Vice President and her team a merchant from that meeting feeling confident because they maintain that she is on the right side of union issues when it comes to opposing national righttowork, when it comes to supporting the pro act, then when it comes to supporting the Butch Lewis Act of 2021, that was a part of the american Rescue Plan that in their telling, save more than 1 Million pensions to date. Now, the Vice President s team also releasing a statement saying the Vice President appreciated the Opportunity City to meet with leadership and discuss how she has worked for her entire career. Just support, defend, and empower Union Workers including as part of the most pro Union Administration ever. Listen, ultimately, this is going to come down to them and it seems like leadership wants to send a message here that the union doesnt, isnt in the business of routinely supporting democrats and are making them work for this endorsement. But when it comes to the issues, the Vice President maintains that she supports them and thats why she has earned the endorsement of the uaw, the afl cio, seiu, and various other union groups to date. And you also hear her Wolf Talk about this on the campaign trail. Play up for Working Class thats background. You hear her surrogates say this as well. Theyve she might hear republicans making overtures to Union Members and sort of a cultural fashion. But when it comes down to the actual policies democrats are the ones that support them wolf already, eva, thank you very much. Eva mckend reporting, lets get some more on all of this.
