CNN —Former President Donald Trump on Monday publicly recounted the apparent assassination attempt against him in detail for the first time, praising US Secret Service, other law enforcement and the witness who took a photo of the suspect’s car that helped lead to his apprehension over the weekend.
“I was playing golf with some of my friends, it was on a Sunday morning and very peaceful, very beautiful weather, everything was beautiful, it’s a nice place to be.
And all of a sudden we heard shots being fired in the air, and I guess probably four or five, and it sounded like bullets.
But Secret Service knew immediately it was bullets, and they grabbed me, and I think probably the other one, Steve is one of the people.
Steve Witkoff, a great friend of mine,” Trump said during an X Spaces conversation in which he was expected to launch a new cryptocurrency business.
