Eric Trump Expresses Frustration Over Assassination Attempt Investigation
Eric Trump, President Trump’s son, declared he is “not satisfied” with the federal investigation into the man who tried to assassinate his father last year in Butler, Pennsylvania. On the podcast “Pod Force One with Miranda Devine,” he admitted,
“I am wholly pissed off about it.”
Claims of Political Violence and Book Promotion
Eric Trump has repeatedly shown frustration with the FBI probe during a press tour for his book, Under Siege. He accused the “radical left” of fueling violence against right-wing figures. Regarding the book's title, he explained it reflects the challenges his family faced:
“The fact that we were debanked and they tried to, you know, screw up our family, and they made up the dirty dossier, and they impeached my father and then they silenced us and then they gag-ordered us.”
Details of the Assassination Attempts
Eric Trump added,
“And then one day they tried to kill my father. And then they tried to do it eight weeks later at a golf course about two miles away from where we’re sitting right now.”
The FBI is still investigating Thomas Michael Crooks, the 20-year-old gunman who attacked President Trump during a campaign rally on July 13, 2024. Crooks fired an AR-15-style rifle, killing one attendee, injuring two others, and grazing Trump’s ear. A Secret Service sniper killed Crooks with a single shot to the head, as confirmed by the coroner’s report.
Summary
Eric Trump is publicly frustrated with the FBI investigation into the attempt on President Trump’s life, emphasizing ongoing political challenges his family faces and alleging left-wing violence and suppression.
