FBI Director Christopher Wray, during a keynote at the 2024 Aspen Cyber Summit in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday, addressed the Bureau’s investigation into the September 15 assassination attempt on former president Donald Trump.
“For the second time in just over two months, we’ve witnessed what appears to be an attempt to attack our democracy and our democratic process,” he said. “I’m relieved that former president Trump is safe, and I want the American people to know the men and women of the FBI are working tirelessly to get to the bottom of what happened.”
Wray acknowledged that the ongoing nature of the investigation limited how much the Bureau could say about the matter.
“What I can say is that we have dedicated the full force of the FBI to this investigation, and that runs the gamut from criminal to national security resources, from tactical support to Evidence Response Teams, from forensic scientists to operational technology personnel,” he said.“Together, we’re working around the clock to investigate this.”
