During a recent inquiry by Sen. Richard Blumenthal, FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate shed light on the ongoing threat posed by Iran towards Americans, including former President Trump. Abbate highlighted that Iran has a history of targeting Americans and even publicly calling for the assassination of Trump.
When pressed by Blumenthal about any specific or imminent threat against Trump on July 13, Acting Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe clarified that there was no concrete information regarding coconspirators or any direct link to Iran or other foreign entities. Rowe emphasized that while there was no evidence at that moment, the Secret Service was keeping all possibilities open and actively investigating any potential threats.
The exchange between the senators and the law enforcement officials underscored the persistent concerns surrounding foreign actors, particularly Iran, and their intentions towards American individuals, including high-profile figures like former President Trump. The dialogue also highlighted the vigilance and thorough approach adopted by agencies like the FBI and Secret Service in assessing and addressing potential security risks.
