Former first lady Melania Trump reflected on her experience of the two assassination attempts on her husband’s life, including the moments she learned of both incidents, while again raising questions about the details of the July shooting at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. In a wide-ranging interview with Fox News that aired Thursday, the former first lady again said that she “had a lot of questions” in the wake of the Butler shooting that injured former President Donald Trump and several others and left one person dead, saying that coverage of the incident made her feel that circumstances surrounding the investigation are “not normal.” “It’s interesting how quiet and – everything became, all of the mainstream media, there were a few days of reporting about July 13 event, and everything then became quiet. So I had a lot of questions: What’s going on? It’s – this is not normal,” she said. Her comment in the interview, part of her effort to promote her new memoir, comes after she posted a video to social media earlier this month questioning the security at the rally and calling for details of the attempted assassination to come to light. “I can’t help but wonder, why didn’t law enforcement officials arrest the shooter before the speech?” she said in the video. “There is definitely more to this story, and we need to uncover the truth.” In the interview with Fox News, the former first lady also blamed the assassination attempts partly on rhetoric from Democrats. She said that by labeling her husband a “threat to democracy,” they were “fueling a toxic atmosphere,” and she called for the country to unite.
