M.

He did not fire or get off any shots thats at our agents.

We need to get out of a reactive model and get to a Readiness Model we also learned from that Press Briefing that the fbi has interviewed seven civilian witnesses because at the scene, so they are trying to learn more about just what happened. We also learned today that they are Processing Items found at the scene that would include those two backpacks, the Sks Rifle and the gopro. Theyve collected dna from that and sent that to quantico. There also processing the suspects vehicle, but there are still those unanswered questions, wolf, they were asked today at this Press Briefing if they are short for that he acted alone. They said they are still looking into that, but there isnt any evidence that that he didnt act alone and they are also still trying to figure out just how long he was in the state of florida before for this, both of groceries remaining Randi Kaye in West Palm beach for us. Thank you very much. Lets dig deeper right now with the former Dc Chief of Homeland Security and intelligence, Donell Harvin and cnn chief Law Enforcement and intelligence analyst, john miller, John Security at Donald Trumps maralago estate in florida is what is being and described as the highest that could possibly be. What does that actually mean from your perspective that basically means its a hard location. That means that they not only have sufficient personnel there, but they have countermeasures, tools like drones and other things to thwart almost any kind of attack that said that would be unusual for either a former president or a candidate but at this point would the second Assassination Attempt in two months they have upped the ante to the point that to sustain this, theyve literally had to borrow people from the president ial protection detail, ppd so basically, people who would be working the White House, biden his travel have been diverted to the trump detail simply because the president , now that hes not campaigning is not making us much travel, as many trips. And spending more time at the White House so they can split off some of those teams. Thats smart, smart decision indeed, darnell, this second Assassination Attempt, trump is involving trump is raising a lot of new questions about whether the us Secret Service can adequately protect its charges. How do you see it i mean, many people dont know is that us Secret Service has about 4,500 personnel sworn and undercover. But theyre spread out over over about 150 offices and so, you know to secure a golf course, you would need a small army and so i think that i want to take a step back, but weve been very hard over the last few months when the u. S. Secret service, because of what happened in Butler Everything that happened yesterday when exactly how its supposed to there was an advanced team they were diligent. They found a thread, they thwarted that threat. They interacted with local and state officials who actually got a tip from the public and so all layers of whats supposed to happen in terms of protection really occurred. Well youve had people on today that talked about budget and authorities. I think that as john just mentioned increasing the former President S detail is going to be something thats going to be important, but hes, hes out there, right . Hes hes going to public events. Hes not going to stop golfing. And so they know they need to look at the Threat Profile and they need to look at how theyre protecting him. But i think they did a great job yesterday. Yeah. It was very impressive indeed, john, the suspect has what is being described as a very extensive social Media Presence. What are investigators looking for as they comb through all of this and go ahead and interview more witnesses. Well, theyre looking back through his social Media Presence to really develop a profile. Who is it were dealing with is there issues here with Mental Illness . Is there hands of violence in any of this material. But what emerges from it is hes an individual who is reaching out to the North Korean leader. Hes reaching out to these communicating, sending messages to biden over Social Media hunter biden, trump and others. So you get the idea. Heres an individual who thinks he is operating on a level where when he sends and this happened tweet to Elon Musk saying, i need to borrow a Rocket Ship to go after putin hes trying to find that level and hes not on it. One has to ask, was this attempted assassination if thats what it was something that would have brought him notoriety. And the attention he was seeking. They had a Gopro Video Camera there as well. John miller donell, harvin to both of you. Thank you very, very very much. Just ahead. How Donald Trump is trying to use this apparent Assassination Attempt to his political advantage, even as the Harris Campaign says, its not political.

Were back with more Breaking News on the second apparent attempt to assassinate Donald Trump, the former president , issuing a new statement on the Phone Call. He just had with President Biden describing it as quote, very nice and very nice call. That was about the Secret Service protection. Lets get reaction from our political experts who are here with the in the Situation Room and jeff zeleny, let me start with you. Trumps immediate reaction after the butler shooting. As we all remember in pennsylvania in july, was a call for unity, but its a very different message. Were hearing right now. This is what he told Fox News about what were hearing from President Biden and Vice President kamala harris. Ill read it to you this is a Quote From Trump 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 the inside and out. Thats a direct quote, Quote From Trump he blames biden a new interview, yet cause their Phone Call conversation, quote, very nice. What do you mean . Take of all that. Look, its entirely different from the reaction to a butler and the circumstances are different. I mean, we had the image from butler, pennsylvania that was so extraordinary that this happened on live television at a live event. And he was able to say, fight, fight, fight. So in the moment it was different, but his rhetoric is entirely different. He went on i want to say its called the enemy from within. They are the real threat talking about his democratic rivals. So look, i mean, i think that just speaks to the very intense divide, right now. But we all remember back to the republican convention when that unity could have pledged and promised us lasted about 20 minutes into his speech. And then weve not heard it sent. So i dont think this is surprising necessarily that it is a different moment, but to a person, President Biden, Vice President harris, governor walz, and other democratic democrats in the House And Senate reached out. And theres no place for political violence. So the democrats are basically saying the same thing that they did a couple of months ago, but the Trump Reaction entirely different. And im told that his advisers arent really advising him to r
