Federal prosecutors have obtained physical evidence confirming that a Secret Service agent was wounded during what authorities describe as an assassination attempt targeting President Donald Trump at last weekend’s White House Correspondents’ Association dinner, according to U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro.
Speaking on CNN Sunday, Pirro disclosed that investigators discovered concrete proof of the shooting. “We now can establish that a pellet that came from the buckshot from the defendant’s Mossberg pump-action shotgun was intertwined with the fiber of the vest of the Secret Service officer,” Pirro stated during her television appearance.
The revelation provides the first detailed evidence about injuries sustained during the alleged attack on the president at the high-profile media event.
