‘Horrible, Distressing Experience’: Melania Trump Demands Answers on Trump Assassination Attempt

Former First Lady Melania Trump has publicly demanded answers regarding the attempted assassination of her husband, former President Donald Trump, nearly two months ago. In a recent video posted on X (formerly Twitter), Melania described the incident as a “horrible, distressing experience” and expressed frustration over what she perceives as a lack of transparency surrounding the event. The assassination attempt occurred on July 13 during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, when 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire on Trump from a nearby rooftop. One bullet grazed Trump’s right ear, leading to the death of one attendee and injuring two others. Secret Service agents responded quickly, killing the shooter on-site. #MelaniaTrump #TrumpAssassinationAttempt #SecurityLapse #InvestigationNeeded #UncoverTheTruth #SecretServiceResponse #ButlerPA #PoliticalAttack #BipartisanTaskForce #TrumpFamily #JusticeForTrump #SecurityConcerns #MelaniaSpeaks #PoliticalRhetoric #SafetyAndSecurity ~HT.97~PR.152~ED.101~
