Former President Donald Trump has agreed to be interviewed by the FBI as part of its investigation into the July 13 assassination attempt at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. The FBI confirmed on Monday that Trump will participate in a 'victim interview,' a routine but voluntary part of criminal investigations. The assassination attempt occurred during a campaign rally, resulting in the death of one spectator and injuries to two others. The gunman, identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, had researched mass attacks and explosives prior to the incident. The FBI continues to probe the motives behind the attack and whether anyone else was involved, an agency official said.
