FBI Director Christopher Wray says he is devoting the “full force” of his department toward the investigation of the assassination attempts against former President Trump.
Wray made the assurance during his remarks at the Aspen Cyber Summit in the nation’s capital. The FBI is one of several federal and state groups that have launched investigations into Sunday’s attempt on Trump’s life.
“I want to just take a moment to talk about what happened over the weekend in West Palm Beach,” Wray said. “For the second time in just over two months, we’ve witnessed what appears to be an attempt to attack our democracy and our democratic process.”
“I’m relieved that former President Trump is safe, and I want the American people to know the men and women of the FBI are working tirelessly to get to the bottom of what happened. Our work is very much ongoing, and we’re just a few days into the investigation, so we’re limited in what we can say at this point,” he added.
Routh remains in custody and has been charged with federal gun crimes. His next court appearance is scheduled for Sept. 1.

Suspected would-be assassin Ryan Routh was arrested by law enforcement in Florida.
Meanwhile, Trump and his allies have lashed out at Democrats, arguing their extreme rhetoric is encouraging violence against the former president.
