Washington — President Biden spoke Sunday about the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, saying he is directing an independent review of the security and events at the Pennsylvania rally to determine what went wrong. The president said he will speak to the nation further from the Oval Office Sunday night.
One spectator was killed at the rally and two were critically wounded. Trump was injured with a graze wound to his ear. Mr. Biden said he wants to ensure Trump gets the security he needs.
"Last night, I spoke with Donald Trump," the president said in his Sunday afternoon remarks. "I'm sincerely grateful that he's doing well and recovering. We had a short but good conversation. Jill and I are keeping him and his family in our prayers. We also extend our deepest condolences to the family of the victim that was killed."
The president also spoke briefly Saturday night in Delaware after Trump, with blood visible on his face, was whisked off stage at a Pennsylvania rally when a gunman's bullet grazed his ear. The president, who has been updated regularly by top administration officials, received another briefing in the White House Situation Room on Sunday.
"We don't yet have any information about the motive of the shooter, we know who he is," the president said Sunday, without naming the suspect, who was identified by the FBI as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks. Crooks was killed by a Secret Service sniper after opening fire.
He’ll put some of the finest legal and investigative minds in the country in charge: Alvin Bragg, Jack Smith, Juan Merchan...
Lol. Biden will fully investigate his attempt to assassinate Trump.
From the Oval Office?
I wonder what he has “different” to say?
Dare we consider an LBJ moment? Gonna be a uniter by handing the nomination to Harris so he can focus on being a nice guy?
I dont think his ego would allow that. But it certainly would be convenient.
Probably from the fake one.
LOL.
Fu@k their review and the horse they rode in. H/t to Flannigan, Brannigan and Ivanovich.
Ya know there have been many congress critters and presidents who have been shot. Most all have been Republicans.

Communists NEVER miss an opportunity to proselytize...
Even in the midst of their own failures, like this failed assassination attempt...
His team is telling him he has to start looking presidential, like a leader. That’s all this is. Photo ops to try and sway the optics. Pathetic to try to gain political points from a tragedy.
We don’t need term limits, we need age limits.
A review overseen by the deep state, intent on sequestering any and all evidence, ending in a rigorously controlled narrative that will benefit the deep state and the deep state only, is what he means.
Independent reviews in government are always coverup operation.
I couldn’t believe how Deep State “alternate/independent” media critter John Solomon was gushing this morning about the great job the 9/11 commission had done to get to the bottom of that situation—and therefore an independent commission was called for here. (Sadly Bernie Kerik was claiming the same as well.)
Just imagine the RINOs and Dems they could fill that commission with.
Don’t be surprised if Biden withdraws from the Presidential Race tonight. Stay tuned!
....and he’s appointed Lt. Frank Drebin of Police Squad to lead the investigation.

Ask the Texas Ranger Division to conduct the investigation.Article IV Section 4 expected the states to look out for each other to quell domestic violence.
Why? He already made a statement today. Another campaign ad?

I have to wonder... I know I’ve been expecting Brib’em to formally resign since 2023. Then there was the disastrous ‘debate’... and since then, the many calls inside the DemRatMarxist party for him to step down that while not quite a crescendo, they are heading in that direction. I don’t exactly know how the dots would be connected between the shooting of a political rival to his own stepping down but I can imagine that a few that can be conjured up.... especially if put to him by the party handlers in a form that makes him look good in his departure and gives his replacement “an opportunity to move forward to a new era where the temperature is turned down”. Regardless, this is what comes to mind since I agree with your sentiment... why does he need to make another statement today?
