President Donald Trump said he wants the Secret Service to provide him with information about the two attempts on his life last year, including details about both suspects—Ryan Routh and Thomas Matthew Crooks.

“I’m entitled to know,” Trump told the New York Post in an exclusive interview published on Feb. 8. “I want to find out about the two assassins. ... Why did the one guy have six cell phones and why did the other guy have [foreign] apps?”
