US President Donald Trump on Friday ordered the Secret Service to provide him with “every bit of information” on the two assassination attempts made against him during his presidential campaigns last year.
“I’m entitled to know,” Trump told The New York Post.
“I want to find out about the two assassins. Why did the one guy have six cell phones and why did the other guy have [foreign] apps?” Trump asked.
“No more holding back because of (former President Joe) Biden. I’m entitled to know. And they held it back long enough, no excuses,” he added.
Videos of Donald Trump seeking information on his assassination attempts were also being widely shared on X.

Fifty-eight-year-old Ryan Routh, accused of attempting to assassinate then President-elect Donald Trump in South Florida, owned 17 cell phones and numerous other electronic devices.
He was arrested two months after Trump was shot and wounded in the ear in an assassination attempt during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania.
Later, prosecutors said Routh methodically plotted to kill Trump for weeks before aiming a rifle through the shrubbery as Trump played golf on September 15, 2024, at his West Palm Beach country club.
Before Trump came into view, Routh was spotted by a Secret Service agent. Routh allegedly aimed his rifle at the agent, who opened fire, causing Routh to drop his weapon and flee without firing a shot. Prosecutors said he left behind a note describing his intentions.
He was arrested a short time later driving on a nearby interstate.
Two months before this assassination attempt, Trump narrowly escaped an assassination attempt during one of his election rallies in Pennsylvania.
