U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) issued statements following the attempted assassination of President Trump.
"Pray for President Trump. And for justice," Hawley tweeted on July 13, 2024.
In a subsequent tweet on July 14, 2024, he urged the Justice Department to release information about the shooter: "The Justice Dept needs to release the shooter’s ID immediately and everything known about him. No sweeping it under the rug."
Hawley further emphasized the gravity of the situation in another tweet: "It’s a wonder Donald Trump is alive. Let’s call this what it was. An assassination attempt with at least one innocent bystander murdered. The nation needs to know who did this. And why. And we need a full, public investigation by Congress into HOW it happened."
