On Tuesday, CNN writes that the US authorities have received information about a planned assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump. According to the channel, the information came from a single person. CNN has spoken to several sources who are familiar with the matter. The intelligence has meant that security around the president has been tightened in recent weeks, writes CNN. Just two days ago, Trump was shot in the ear during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania. It is not suspected that the shooting has any connection to the possible assassination, according to the sources CNN has been in contact with. At the same time, this leads to more questions about how the shooting at Trump could happen at all. CNN has questioned the FBI, the US Department of Homeland Security and the Iranian UN delegation to the US about the plans. None of them have responded. It is not known whether Trump and his security team were made aware of the details of the intelligence, the channel writes. According to CNN, the Secret Service has warned Trump against organizing election campaign meetings outdoors, which carry greater risks than meetings held indoors. Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is said to have also been a possible target for the assassination plans. Published 16.07.2024, at 20.38 Updated 16.07.2024, at 20.51
