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.
Will he be in pajamas?
‘Independent review’ ... really?
It is very encouraging that we have a pathological liar investigating this.
Perhaps the WH can double down and appoint a Commission of pathological liars to issue a lengthy report full of garbage.
Lol.
“will address nation from Oval Office Sunday night”
Why? He already made a statement today. Another campaign ad?
And the narrative redirection continues ...
Maybe he’ll go hard against the media since they turned on him recently.
Apparently it will be taped press conference..biden will be sleeeeping its way past his bed time..the ONLY reason why biden is pretending to care is because he knows this hurts his re-election
Led by Liz Cheney.
just read on twitter that the feds have the shooter’s phone..oh goodie its gonna disappear faster than Robert Hur’s audio
A little overkill as far as comments for someone who allegedly had nothing to do with it.
Just so there is no surprise, the results of this “independent” review have already been written up.
F him.
“President Biden spoke Sunday about the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, saying he is directing an independent review of the security”
Independent of what, the truth? FOAD Biden, it’s all political charades.
Gonna use the word “BULLSEYE” again, bright boy? Just shut up and go away— or stay, and shut up. You are worthless. A shell a corrupt cored shell.
Right, review why it failed and make corrections.
Oh man, he’s milking this for all it’s worth, isn’t he?
Not a bad play.
Bullsh##
Here a real live Journalist question that will never be asked by the White House Stenographer pool in the so called “Press Room”.
Please explain why a roof top, with ladder access, 150 yards from one top 20 highest value targets in the world, which had clear line of sight to both the stage and the egress route to the exit car, was left unguarded and uncovered? At a very bare minimum you have a uniform standing at the ladder.
No matter what resources they are using, local state federal, their own, the Secret Service owes the site. So all the lying and blame shifting does not address the fundamental fact that the Secret Service, which works for the Biden Regime, operated with criminal level negligence.
