President Joe Bidenasks Americans not to jump to conclusions about the man who shot Donald Trump …urging people not to make assumptions about his preferences.
POTUS addressed reporters Sunday morning … confirming he spoke to the former president by phone Saturday evening after the shooting — and he is keeping Trump and his family in his prayers.
As for the shooter… Biden points out that the public knows his name, but not his motives — and he warns people not to speculate about who the shooter might be politically connected to.
JB also goes through the steps he’s taking in the aftermath of the attack… and says he’s contacting the head of the Secret Service about security details surrounding the Republican National Convention.
He is also calling for an independent national security review at Saturday’s meeting to determine exactly how the incident unfolded.
Worth noting… Biden still hasn’t called the shooting an assassination attempt — and says again that the FBI is still investigating.
