SummaryEP:49 - The Trump Assassination Plots, with Ken Silva
3w ago01:23:12Summary readyKen Silva joins Darryl Cooper and Scott Horton to discuss his new book on the Trump assassination plots, especially the Butler, Pennsylvania attempt and the later Palm Beach attempt. Discussion focuses on security failures at Butler, including equipment problems, communication gaps, missed warnings about Thomas Crooks, and questions about an unidentified ATF agent and the timing of the shooting. Silva also discussed Crooks’ background, the limited release of FBI and congressional records, and his view that the official account does not fully match the available notes and testimony. The second half of the conversation covers Ryan Routh’s attempt on Trump in Florida, and the interview closes with Silva saying the alleged Iranian plots involving Asif Merchant and Farhad Shakeri do not appear to be direct, operational government attacks.
