According to Daily Mail Online, former First Lady Melania Trump has released a video demanding answers about the July 13 assassination attempt on her husband, Donald Trump.
In the clip shared on her social media accounts, Mrs. Trump suggests there may be more to the story than what has been publicly disclosed.
The 10-second video features Mrs. Trump dressed in black, speaking in front of a dark background with ominous music playing. She describes the attempt on her husband's life as a "horrible, distressing experience" and questions why law enforcement did not arrest the shooter before Trump's speech.
Mrs. Trump's video message expresses concern about the "silence" surrounding the incident and hints at a potential conspiracy. She states that there is "definitely more to this story" and emphasizes the need to "uncover the truth" about what transpired.
The timing of the video's release is notable, coinciding with Donald Trump's scheduled debate against Democratic rival Kamala Harris. It also comes as House Republicans have formed a task force to investigate the assassination attempt while the Secret Service continues its own probe into the incident.
At the end of the clip, Mrs. Trump promotes her forthcoming memoir, simply titled "Melania," which is set to be released on October 1st.
The assassination attempt occurred on July 13 at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks managed to climb to the roof of a building within sight of Trump, firing from approximately 150 yards away.
Several questions remain unanswered about the incident, including how Crooks accessed the area without going through the normal screening process for rally attendees. There are also concerns about the coordination between the Secret Service and local law enforcement, as well as the response time to the shooting.
In the aftermath of the event, Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle acknowledged that the agency had failed in its mission to protect the former president. Cheatle later resigned from her position.
Mrs. Trump's video marks a rare public statement from the former First Lady, who has maintained a low profile since leaving the White House in January 2021. She has not been heavily involved in her husband's 2024 presidential campaign, making only limited appearances at events such as his campaign announcement and the Republican National Convention.
The release of her memoir, "Melania," is scheduled for October 1st. The book will be available in two editions: a standard memoir edition and a limited collector's edition. Pre-orders are currently being accepted on Amazon, with prices ranging from $30 to $150 for signed copies.
It remains unclear whether Mrs. Trump worked with a co-author on the book or if she plans to embark on a promotional tour. The content of the memoir and whether it will address the recent assassination attempt are also unknown at this time.
