• Six days later, and we’re no closer to finding any answers about the 20-year-old male who tried to assassinate former President Trump. According to multiple reports citing private disclosures by FBI officials to members of Congress, the suspect had searched for photos on his phone of Trump, Biden, and other lawmakers across the political spectrum. Sources say the list of other lawmakers includes House Speaker Mike Johnson (R), House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D), former Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani (R), and Fulton County DA Fani Willis (a Democrat who’s prosecuting Trump).
