New video from the assassination attempt on former President Trump’s life shows the moment his shoes came off as Secret Service agents rushed to protect the president.
In an interview with the New York Post, Trump said his protective detail rushed at him like “linebackers” after shots rang out during his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday.
“They did a fantastic job,” he told the Post. “It’s surreal for all of us.”
