White House breaks silence after Jesse Ventura claims Trump assassination attempt was fake

The White House has pushed back after Jesse Ventura questioned the 2024 assassination attempt on Donald Trump. The July rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, saw 20-year-old Thomas Crooks fire from a rooftop, grazing Trump’s ear and killing a bystander, volunteer fire chief Corey Comperatore. Ventura suggested on Piers Morgan Uncensored that the incident might have been staged, referencing the wrestling term “blade job” and questioning Trump’s visible injury. The White House rejected these claims, reaffirming the official account.
