US President Biden addresses nation after Trump rally shooting | BBC News

US President Biden has addressed the nation after what the FBI are treating as an assassination attempt on Donald Trump.

Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris were briefed in the situation room by the Homeland Security team and the FBI director.

The president said the FBI is leading the investigation, which is in its early stages.

He said there is still no information about the motive of the shooter.

"I urge everyone, please, don't make assumptions about his motives or his affiliations," Biden said.

"Let the FBI do their job and their partner agencies do their job."

"I've instructed that this investigation be thorough and swift and the investigators will have every resource they need to get this done," he added.
