WASHINGTON, DC: In a shocking accusation against the former President Joe Biden administration, Rep Anna Paulina Luna claimed that an assassination attempt on Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, was a conspiracy by the then Democratic government.

During a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt as shots rang out, causing chaos. Although Trump was narrowly saved, he had sustained injuries in his ear.

Anna Paulina Luna claims Biden admin was behind Trump's assassination

During Wednesday’s episode of the podcast 'Pod Force One', Anna Paulina Luna claimed that the Biden administration was behind the attempt on Trump’s life during an election rally in mid July 2024.

“I think what is interesting about the initial investigation is A, it was done under Biden, period. So the Biden administration, the FBI — this is the same FBI, remember, that couldn’t locate who actually owned that bag of cocaine that was found in the White House, and then also ended up destroying the evidence,” Luna told the show host, New York Post columnist Miranda Devine.

Luna further expressed her doubts, saying that she thinks the negligence was intentional. She also questioned the absence of the Secret Service agents from the actual spot. “I was one of the individuals to actually ask questions of the former Secret Service Director (Kimberly Cheatle),” she said.

Anna Paulina Luna says whistleblowers were inside Secret Service

Questioning the role of the Secret Service in the Trump assassination, Luna said, “We actually had whistleblowers from within the Secret Service that came out, that stated that, you know, they were basically not present or told to stand down at the actual, um— there was a group of snipers that were actually met that day, that was coordinated by the local law enforcement, and they just so happened to not show up.”

She accused the Biden administration of giving limited staff for the security of the then-presidential candidate Donald Trump and questioned why an “area that was left open was literally the perfect location to take a shot and, basically, assassinate someone."

Luna continued raising several questions about the incident, such as “what happened to the other burner phones, and also too, if this was just some random, you know, lone shooter, why did he have burner phones? What happened to his video game console?”

Emphasising that she thinks the Butler assassination was “an inside job”, Luna said, “That’s literally what I think is the ultimate revelation of that.”

She acknowledged that “the Butler assassination record is actually under the purview of release by President Trump himself.”
