Donald Trump is set to be interviewed by the FBI about the shocking assassination attempt against him. Here's everything you need to know!

Former President Donald Trump has agreed to be interviewed by the FBI as part of its investigation into the harrowing assassination attempt on his life in Pennsylvania. The interview, described by authorities as a 'victim interview,' is a standard procedure taken during the investigation of federal crimes. On Monday, the FBI, during a conference call with reporters, confirmed Trump's cooperation and shed light on the progress of the investigation.

The investigation revolves around a 20-year-old man, Thomas Crooks, who allegedly tried to assassinate Trump during one of his rallies. Crooks was spotted by the police over an hour before he opened fire, yet no immediate action was taken. The police even took a photo of him to share, unaware of the impending danger. This has raised questions about the security measures and response time during such high-profile events.

Trump's willingness to engage in the interview signifies his commitment to unveiling the truth behind the assassination attempt. Known for his proactive approach, Trump has repeatedly expressed the importance of law and order. The FBI's inquiry aims to piece together Crooks' motives and any potential influences that led to the drastic action.

In an interesting twist, it has been revealed that the FBI has found no direct ties between Crooks and any organized extremist groups, pointing towards the possibility of an lone-wolf attack. Trump supporters have remained resilient, continuing to attend rallies nationwide despite the looming threat.

Did you know that assassination attempts on sitting or former presidents are more common than you might think? There's an entire history of thwarted plots, some of which were so under the radar, they didnโ€™t even make mainstream news. Another intriguing fact: studies show that interviews with key victims often lead to major breakthroughs in solving such high-stakes cases. So, Trump's cooperation could be a turning point in understanding this chilling attempt firsthand.
