Trump agrees to be interviewed in FBI’s probe into assassination attempt

FBI agent says agency eager to get ex-US president’s ‘perspective on what he observed’ during July 13 rally shooting.

Donald Trump has agreed to be interviewed as part of an FBI investigation into the assassination attempt against the former United States president, an official said, as questions continue to swirl around the campaign rally shooting.

Kevin Rojek, the special agent in charge of the FBI’s Pittsburgh field office, said on Monday that the agency wants “to get [Trump’s] perspective on what he observed”.

The former president and Republican Party 2024 presidential nominee has agreed to sit for a standard victim’s interview, which “will be consistent with any victim interview we do”, Rojek told reporters.

Trump, who has been highly critical of the FBI, was shot in the ear during a July 13 rally in Pennsylvania, spurring widespread condemnation and questions about what security measures were put in place before the event.
