Prosecutors in South Carolina have revealed that the suspect in the attempted shooting of former President Donald Trump wrote a letter detailing his plans prior to the incident. The suspect, whose identity has not been disclosed, is facing federal charges for allegedly attempting to assassinate Trump during a rally in South Carolina.
The letter, which was reportedly found in the suspect’s possession, outlined his intentions to kill Trump and included explicit details of the shooting plot. According to prosecutors, the suspect had been plotting the assassination for several weeks and had acquired the necessary weapons to carry out the attack.
The incident occurred during a rally where Trump was scheduled to speak to a crowd of supporters. The suspect allegedly fired multiple shots in the direction of Trump, but missed the former president. Law enforcement officials were able to apprehend the suspect before any further harm could be done.
The suspect is currently being held in custody pending further legal proceedings. Federal prosecutors are expected to pursue charges of attempted assassination and other related offenses. The motive behind the suspect’s actions remains unclear, and authorities are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the foiled assassination attempt.
The incident has raised concerns about the security of public figures and the safety of political events in the United States. The Secret Service, which is responsible for protecting former presidents, has not commented on the incident. Trump himself has not publicly addressed the attempted shooting.
The suspect is expected to make a court appearance in the coming days, where additional details about the case may be revealed. Prosecutors are urging the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to law enforcement authorities.
