Former President Donald Trump confirmed Monday evening on Fox News he would be open to declassifying the investigation into his assassination attempt if he were to win a second term this November.
Trump and his running mate Republican Ohio Sen. J.D. Vance appeared on “Jesse Watters Primetime” to discuss the attempted assassination against the former president on July 13 and the events that led up to the attack. Fox News host Jesse Watters asked the former president if he would declassify the investigation files if he were to win the White House this year.
“I would yes. There should be nothing to hide here,” Trump said. “But I think frankly, many things are known right now. But some of the things that are known are bad. How did somebody get on that roof and why wasn’t he reported? Because people saw he was on the roof. You had Trumpers screaming. The woman in the red shirt, she was screaming, ‘There’s a man on the roof.’ And other people are [saying], ‘There is a man on the roof with a gun.’”
“And that was quite a bit before I walked onto the stage. So you would’ve thought somebody would’ve done something about it,” Trump said.
