Former US President Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt in Pennsylvania. Weeks earlier, US officials received intel about an Iranian plot to kill him, but there`s no link between this and the shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks. Security was heightened after the threat was known, confirmed by national security sources. Trump and his ex-Secretary of State faced threats from Iran after Soleimani`s 2020 killing. The Secret Service, along with other agencies, regularly gets new threat info. Trump`s shooter was stopped at the rally by FBI agents. Questions are now raised about Secret Service security measures despite the shooter being swiftly neutralized.
