FBI Investigates Local Officer's Encounter with Trump Shooter as Iran Denies Alleged Assassination Plot

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has reportedly interviewed a local law enforcement officer who claims to have witnessed the individual responsible for the attack on former President Trump, only to retreat before the gunshots were fired. The incident, which occurred during a rally for Trump, has sparked intense scrutiny and a thorough investigation by the FBI.

Accusations of an Iranian Plot

Iran's Permanent Mission to the United Nations has vehemently denied allegations that the country orchestrated a plot to assassinate former President Trump, labeling the claims as "unsubstantiated and malicious." According to federal law enforcement sources who spoke to Fox News, intelligence from a human source indicated that Iran was planning to kill Trump, leading to an escalation in security measures implemented by the U.S. Secret Service. The reported plot does not appear to be linked to the actions of Thomas Matthew Crooks, the 20-year-old gunman involved in the shooting at the rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

FBI Probing Local Officer's Testimony

The FBI is delving into the testimony provided by the local officer who purportedly witnessed the individual responsible for the attack on former President Trump. The sequence of events described by the officer, including the retreat prior to the gunshots, has raised significant questions and is a focal point of the investigation.
