President Donald Trump posted on social media platform X on September 15, accusing the Biden administration and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) of mishandling the July assassination attempt against him in Butler, Pennsylvania. Trump claimed that by the time he took office on January 20, most information related to the incident was "missing, altered, corrupted, or gone," and said new information had just been discovered.
"Everybody knows the Crooked Joe Biden FBI didn’t do what they should have with respect to the Lunatic who shot me in Butler, PA. By the time I got into Office, on January 20th, most of the information was missing, altered, corrupted, or gone. New info was just found! Why wasn’t it seen long ago? This was all a Democrat Plot, to get me out of the Election, that failed. Dirty Cop Christopher Wray should pay a price for the way he handled this assassination attempt, and certainly for the things he said. GOD BLESS AMERICA — MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP," Trump wrote.
Trump did not provide specific evidence to support his allegations. FBI Director Christopher Wray has not publicly responded.
