FBI reveals more details about Trump assassination attempt, as more schools evacuated in Springfield, Ohio: Live

Donald Trump blasted the Biden-Harris administration for their “Communist left rhetoric,” after he was the subject of a second apparent assassination attempt at one of his golf courses in Florida on Sunday.

The former president is safe and was unharmed and the FBI says it is investigating the latest security episode involving the Republican presidential nominee, just nine weeks after he survived a previous attempt on his life when he was shot in the ear by a sniper at a rally in Pennsylvania.

A man, named by authorities as Ryan Routh, was spotted aiming an AK-47-type rifle at Trump’s West Palm Beach golf resort while concealed in shrubbery about 400 to 500 yards away from the politician when he was spotted by Secret Service agents who opened fire as he fled the scene.

Routh, 58, appeared in court in West Palm Beach on Monday and was charged with two gun offences.

On Monday, Trump lashed out at the Democrats on Truth Social, writing: “The Rhetoric, Lies, as exemplified by the false statements made by Comrade Kamala Harris... has taken politics in our Country to a whole new level of Hatred, Abuse, and Distrust.

“Because of this Communist Left Rhetoric, the bullets are flying, and it will only get worse!”
