Former President Joe Biden spoke with Donald Trump following an attempted assassination at Trump’s golf course in Florida. The White House confirmed that Biden expressed relief that Trump was safe and the two had a cordial conversation, with Trump thanking Biden for the call.
On the legal front, former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows’ attempts to move his charges in Arizona’s fake elector case to federal court have been rejected for the second time. The judge ruled that Meadows missed a deadline and failed to show that his official duties were related to the allegations against him.
Meanwhile, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s name will remain on the ballot in Wisconsin, despite his attempts to have it removed. Kennedy had suspended his campaign and endorsed Republican candidate Donald Trump, aiming to remove his name from battleground state ballots.
On a related note, Ryan Wesley Routh, the suspect in the apparent assassination attempt, made donations to Democratic presidential candidates in the 2020 election, according to Federal Election Commission records. Routh was found with a loaded rifle and other items near the Trump golf course in Florida.
The Secret Service has defended their actions during the incident, with Ronald Rowe calling for a reevaluation of their methodologies in response to the current dynamic threat environment. The FBI is investigating the event as an apparent assassination attempt against Trump.
