In a newly released video, Melania Trump makes a significant allegation regarding her husband Donald Trump’s assassination attempt.
Melania used social media to express her opinions about the attempted murder that occurred during Trump’s speech at an open-air campaign rally.
The gunman, later identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, opened fire on the Republican candidate as he was on a stage close to Butler, Pennsylvania. The bullet struck Trump’s ear, causing it to bleed.
Agents from the Secret Service hurried Trump off the stage, and they later fatally shot Crooks there.
After the shooting, Trump took to social media to say ‘much bleeding took place’.
He also expressed gratitude to the Secret Service for their “rapid response.”
According to Trump, a bullet that was shot perforated the upper portion of his right ear. He posted this on his platform, Truth Social.
“I knew immediately that something was wrong in that I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin.
“It is incredible that such an act can take place in our country.”
Now, Melania has made a bold claim about the shooting in her video shared online, alleging there is ‘more to the story’ of her husband being targeted.
Speaking directly into the camera, Melania said: “The attempt to end my husband’s life was a horrible, distressing experience.
“Now the silence around it feels heavy. I can’t help but wonder why didn’t law enforcement officials arrest shooter before the speech. There is definitely more to this story. And we need to uncover the truth.”
The video comes to an end with an image promoting her upcoming memoir, Melania, which is set to be released in October.
Her assertion is in response to more information that surfaced in the days and weeks following the attempted assassination, with US Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle characterizing the incident as “unacceptable.”
She described it as “something that shouldn’t happen again” in an interview with ABC News.
“The buck stops with me,” she said. “I am the director of the Secret Service, and I need to make sure that we are performing a review and that we are giving resources to our personnel as necessary.”
Shortly before Trump and rival Kamala Harris were scheduled to square off at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Melania’s video was released.
