The police, prosecutors, and Secret Service held an intense press conference late on Monday in West Palm Beach about the suspected assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. The Federal Police FBI's representative Jeffrie Veltri stated that charges are pending and therefore not all details can be revealed.

He also established that the arrested man did not fire any shots, neither at the bodyguards nor in the direction of former President Trump.

The FBI agent then said that seven witnesses – friends and former colleagues – have been questioned.

Waited for a long time

At the same time, information emerged from the FBI that the accused man's mobile phone showed that he was likely near the golf course for 12 hours before the bodyguards discovered his weapon.

Veltri also said that there was no "information that (the suspected perpetrator) acted together with anyone else".

The FBI and Secret Service established that Trump was never in the suspected perpetrator's line of fire.

The press conference was led by the local sheriff Ric Bradshaw from the West Palm Beach police district where Trump's golf course is located.

In front of a large gathering of journalists, Bradshaw, who has become nationally known after the suspected murder plot, urged the journalists to ask their questions calmly and composedly.

Good job

Also present at the press conference was the head of the Secret Service, Ronald Rowe, who stated that his colleagues did a good job of protecting the former President.

The cooperation with the police in West Palm Beach has been excellent, said Rowe and stated that Trump's golf round "was not on Trump's official schedule".
