MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The US intelligence service does not rule out new attempts to assassinate former President Donald Trump in the coming weeks, Politico newspaper reported, citing two senior US officials familiar with the intelligence.
The US intelligence community is receiving more and more evidence that Iran is allegedly actively plotting to assassinate Trump, probably on the eve of the November elections, the newspaper reported on Tuesday.
The US official added that there may be new assassination attempts on Trump in the coming weeks, the report said.
Earlier in the week, media reported that the US intelligence authorities had uncovered an alleged plan by Iran to kill Trump without any known link to Saturday's attempt. On Tuesday, the Iranian mission to the UN told Sputnik that the allegations are "unsubstantiated and malicious," still maintaining that the former US president "is a criminal who must be prosecuted and punished in a court of law" over ordering the assassination of Iranian General Qasem Soleimani in 2020.
