Trump Says He’s ‘Very Satisfied’ With The Official Narrative On Butler Assassination

President Donald Trump told the Daily Caller Thursday that he is “very satisfied” with the FBI’s investigation into the assassination attempt against him that occurred in Butler, Pennsylvania. This is the first time he has publicly indicated full confidence in the investigation.

Trump tells me he’s “very satisfied” with the investigation his FBI has done into the assassination attempt on his life.

Earlier this year, he expressed uneasiness with the progress of the investigation while the FBI insisted there was “no there there.” @DailyCaller pic.twitter.com/CpkOpWbCb1

Trump’s comments, made directly to Daily Caller White House Correspondent Reagan Reese, follow months of public skepticism about the official explanation. This is the first time he has publicly indicated full confidence in the investigation. In an earlier interview with Fox News, Trump said that while he trusted his team, aspects of the case seemed “a little bit strange.” (RELATED: ‘Massive Amount Of Blood’: VIP Trump Rally Guest Captures Terrifying Moments During Assassination Attempt)

“I’m relying on my people to tell me what it is … The Secret Service, they tell me it’s fine. But it’s a little hard to believe,” Trump said at the time.

FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino said in March in a Fox News interview, “In some of these cases, the ‘there’ you’re looking for is not there. And I know people — I get it, I understand. It’s not there. If it was there, we would have told you.”

During a White House briefing that month, Daily Caller correspondent Reagan Reese asked Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt whether the president was satisfied with Bongino’s explanation of the assassination attempt. Leavitt declined to elaborate, replying, “Well, in the lead up to your question, you answered your own question with the president’s own words, and I’ll leave it at that.”
