The Louisiana Illuminator reports:
U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson and his wife were at former President Donald Trump’s home in Florida when the Republican presidential nominee was targeted a few miles away in an apparent assassination attempt Sunday afternoon, according to a post from Johnson on X.
Trump was playing golf at his course near Mar-a-Lago when U.S. Secret Service agents thwarted an assassination attempt, the second against the former president in the past nine weeks. Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, was apprehended a short distance away after attempting to flee, according to authorities.
“Kelly and I are departing Mar-a-Lago, where we just spent a few hours with President Trump and are thanking God for protecting him today — once again,” Johnson wrote. “No leader in American history has endured more attacks and remained so strong and resilient. He is unstoppable.”
