U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson and his wife were on their way to Donald Trump’s home when the Secret Service stopped a 58-year-old man from carrying out what authorities are calling an assassination attempt on the former president. Johnson posted on “X” that no leader in American history has endured more attacks and remained so strong and resilient.

“There’s no leader in the history of America that has been so attacked and has remained so strong and so resilient.  He’s one of a kind.  He is not going to stop fighting for the American people.”

Johnson reassured Trump supporters and the public that Congress would take necessary actions to ensure the safety of all public figures. Johnson was briefed with the President within 90-minutes of the event by Acting Director of the Secret Service Ron Rowe.  Rowe says agents saw the gun barrel between the bushes and engaged.

“Had they not been there.  Had they not acted so quickly and so decisively we might be having a different conversation today.”

Johnson says there are hearings this month for that Task Force and reports will be coming out next week.  Johnson expressed deep concern over the growing threats against the former president and emphasized the need for heightened security measures.

“So we are demanding in the House, that he have every asset available, and we will make more available if necessary.”
