Payam Javan: The FBI is investigating a second apparent assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump at his Florida golf course. The incident occurred just two months after Trump narrowly survived a similar attempt at a Pennsylvania rally. The FBI, along with the Secret Service and the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, is conducting a thorough investigation. The FBI’s Miami field office is seeking the public’s help with tips, while authorities have urged the public to avoid the area during the investigation.

Trump, who was unharmed in the incident, reassured his supporters in a statement, emphasizing his resilience and determination. Republican leaders, including Trump’s running mate JD Vance and House Speaker Mike Johnson, expressed their relief and support, praising Trump’s strength in the face of repeated threats. Photos from the scene revealed an AK-47-style rifle involved in the attempt, with the suspect positioned dangerously close to Trump on the golf course. A Secret Service agent’s quick action led to the suspect fleeing the scene.

Law enforcement sources have identified the suspect, though no official name has been released yet. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has announced an independent state investigation to understand how the suspect got so close to Trump. The White House, including President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, has also responded, expressing relief that Trump was not harmed and condemning the violence. Authorities are working on state and potentially federal charges against the suspect, as the investigation continues.
