Trump to be interviewed by FBI as it investigates assassination attempt

Questioning is part of the FBI’s standard protocol to speak with victims of federal crimes during an investigation

WASHINGTON — The FBI says former U.S. president Donald Trump has agreed to be interviewed as part of the investigation into the attempted assassination in Pennsylvania earlier this month, an official said Monday.

The expected interview is part of the FBI’s standard protocol to speak with victims of federal crimes during the course of their investigations.

The FBI said Friday that Trump was struck by a bullet or a fragment of one during the July 13 assassination attempt at a campaign rally in Butler, Pa.

The FBI disclosed the planned conversation with Trump as he revealed new details about the gunman, including internet searches that reveal an interest in mass shootings and the attempted assassination this year of Slovakia’s prime minister.
