'We don't resort to killing each other': Hester reacts to second Trump assassination attempt
SUMMARY: Former President Trump described having “a very nice conversation” regarding his Secret Service protection following a second assassination attempt over the weekend. Arkansas State Senator Bart Hester emphasized that such violent acts shouldn’t be attributed to any political party but rather to the individuals involved. He stated that historical divisive politics should not lead to violence. Hester suggested the incident serves as a wake-up call for public figures like Trump and Vice President Harris to reassess their public presence while maintaining that they won’t hide from the public.

Suspect of second apparent assassination attempt of Trump appears in court
SUMMARY: Florida deputies arrested Ryan Wesley Ruth, 58, near Donald Trump’s golf club amid an FBI investigation into an alleged assassination attempt on the former president. Body camera footage shows Ruth seemingly relaxed during his arrest, not questioning the situation. He faced federal charges for possession of a firearm as a convicted felon and for having an obliterated serial number, with additional charges possible. In court, he calmly answered questions and even smiled while speaking with a public defender. Prosecutors allege Ruth targeted Trump while the former president golfed nearby, and a Secret Service agent spotted his weapon.
