President Donald Trump told an interviewer on Wednesday that he wants more information about the two assassination attempts against him last year—one in Florida and the other in Pennsylvania.

In an interview with Fox News, Trump said he was told by officials that the attempts on his life—at a campaign event in Butler, Pennsylvania, in July and at his golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida, in September—were done by “a couple of nut jobs.”
