Washington โ€” 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.

I know this sounds hard to believe—but the insanely incompetent and grossly negligent performance of the Secret Service may be enough to convince Biden to release his delegates and not run again...

The Deep State loves sending out secret messages hidden in plain sight.

There is no need for him to be on. He already been on a lot.

Seems like he is trying to seem relevant or keep Trump from getting more attention.

"We don't yet have any information about the motive of the shooter, we know who he is,"

...."and we intend to prosecute him to the fullest extent of the law."

Don’t let him do it, Sneaker Johnson/House GOP.

Call for YOUR OWN special/independent investigation.

Outside of the realm of these evil creeps.

The Secret Service supervisor and team leader’s phones are the ones they need to investigate imho.

Will this speech be from the real oval office or from the fake movie set Oval Office?

Like Biden would ever do anything to the Secret Service. Hunter Biden had 3 agents at his beck and call, and same with Daughter Addict Ashley!

Please spare me
