President Donald Trump said in an interview clip released Thursday that he was “satisfied” with the investigation into the Butler, Pennsylvania, assassination attempt, but admitted that law enforcement there “had a bad day.” Trump narrowly missed death during the 2024 presidential election cycle when a shooter at a Butler rally snuck through the president’s defenses […]
