During an event honoring Purple Heart recipients, President Trump faced numerous questions regarding recent FBI firings, which appear to target agents he deems unsupportive. Former interim FBI Director Brian Driscoll was among those let go, stating he received no explanation but resisted dismissing agents involved in cases against Trump. Trump also recounted a past assassination attempt against him, expressing gratitude for Purple Hearts received from veterans at the event, acknowledging their greater sacrifices.
"Trump's FBI is purging agents and officials who are perceived to be at odds with Trump, including former interim FBI Director Brian Driscoll and Steve Jensen, head of the FBI's Washington, D.C., field office."
"Driscoll says he wasn't given a reason for the firing, but he refused to fire agents who were involved in the cases against Trump."
"During the event, Trump mentioned an assassination attempt, saying: 'Last year, after an assassin tried to take my life in Butler, Pennsylvania.'"
"Trump expressed gratitude towards the veterans by saying, 'I want to thank you very much. What a great honor to get those Purple Hearts.'"
