The United States Secret Service, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the US Attorney's Office issued a joint statement on the incident involving an armed man arrested near former President Donald Trump's rally entrance, claiming that the ex-president "was not in danger."
"The US Secret Service assesses that the incident did not impact protective operations and former President Trump was not in any danger. While no federal arrest has been made at this time, the investigation is ongoing," the statement read.
Previously, Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco revealed that a man carrying a loaded shotgun and false passes was arrested at a checkpoint near Trump's rally location, stressing that local police "probably stopped another assassination attempt."
