this is cnn breaking news hello and welcome to all our viewers watching around the world. i'm anna coren we are continuing our breaking news coverage this hour as the fbi investigates an apparent assassination attempt on donald trump, the former president's was not harmed in sunday's incident at his golf club in west palm beach? which comes just two months after an assassination attempt at a rally in pennsylvania a 58-year-old man identified as ryan was lee ralph, has been detained. a source says the fbi investigation has now gone global. as officials look into his background we have learned ralph weighed in on politics social media in the past and at times criticized trump at the time as sunday incidents trump had been playing golf the palm beach county sheriff says, the secret service fired shots at a man who had a rifle in the bushes along the perimeter of the trump international golf club and describes what else i
10:02 pm
found at the scene the bushes were this guy was is a ak-47 style rifle with a scope do backpacks, which were home on the fifths that had ceramic tile at him and a gopro, which he was going to take pictures of those are being processed right now. >> the secret service agent, that was all the course did a fantastic job. what they do is they have agent that jumps one whole ahead of time toward a president was at and he was able to spot this rifle barrel, stick out of the fence. and immediately engaged that individual at which time the individual took off just a short time ago, trump posted on truth social, thanking the u.s. >> secret service and other law enforcement officials for their actions on sunday, he said, quote, the job done was absolutely outstanding. cnn's kristen holmes is following all
10:03 pm
the developments and has more now from washington spoken to a number of campaign advisers who say there are still a lot of questions as to what exactly happened. the details there, and how exactly this happened, particular how the suspect knew where donald trump was going to be and win today, just to remind finger, he is a former president. he is not a current sitting president, which means he doesn't have to put out a schedule. there was no pool of press pool following him around and so instead, this was a private event with a close friend. he was with us, allies and donors, steve witkoff, golfing his property. there there are a lot of questions as to how exactly this unfolded. now one thing that we're going to a number of campaign advisers about is that they are pleased with the secret service response. one thing that i will note is that after that assassination attempt in butler, pennsylvania, there were a lot of questions as to why exactly the us secret service did not respond or engage in the shooter quickly. that is not. or at least does not seem to be the case. here as we know, donald trumps seem to be traveling with least two
10:04 pm
sets of secret service agents, ones that were behind him. and then another set that was in front of him. he himself was traveling between the fifth and sixth hole. we are told there was an entire other secret service group ahead of him advancing him that is the group that saw the rifle and engaged with the suspect on the golf course. shots were fired and then a second group of secret service agents took donald trump away. they went back to the club, which is on lockdown for several hours, then we were told donald trump was brought back to mar-a-lago against several hours later, which is not completely unreasonable. something we saw in butler, pennsylvania as well, secret service taking their time to secure the location as well as make sure there's no secondary location or secondary potential gunman waiting so that is unsurprising. now we also are told that the campaign managers have now reached out to the entire staff to the campaign to discuss what happened today with them in an email, this is
10:05 pm
what they wrote in. this came from comer and our jurors, chris lacivita and susie wiles, partly they say dave for the second time in two months an evil monster attempted to take the life of president trump. thankfully, no one was injured at the golf course. this is not a matter that we take lightly, your safety is always top priority we ask that you remain vigilant in your daily comings and goings. be observant, maintain a constant level of situational awareness. we are also told that for at least some time period after this assassination attempt, they did close down the west palm beach or at least locked down the west palm beach? campaign offices. they had done the same thing after the assassination attempt in butler, pennsylvania. there clearly trying to make sure that everyone around donald trump is safe. but also you hear them. there are encouraging and urging people to remain vigilant to keep their eyes open they believe there is potentially an ongoing security threat, but again, a big a huge
10:06 pm
notable event here we are now talking about the second assassination attempt in roughly two months. but on top of that, lots of questions still as to how exactly and why exactly this happened. again kristen holmes, cnn, washington u.s. >> president joe biden says he used relief that donald trump was unharmed in sunday's apparent assassination attempt. in a statement he says, i have been briefed by my team regarding what federal law enforcement is investigating as a possible assassination an attempt to former president trump. today a suspect is in custody, and i commend the work of the secret service and the law enforcement partners for their vigilance and their efforts to keep the former president and those around him safe. i am relieved that the former president is unharmed. there is an active investigation into this incident as law enforcement gathers more details about what happened, as i've said many times, there is no place for
10:07 pm
political violence or for any violence ever in our country. and i have directed my team to continue to ensure that secret service has every resource, capability and protective measure necessary. great to ensure the former president's continued safety while democratic presidential nominee kamala harris also released a statement saying, i am deeply disturbed by the possible assassination attempt of former president trump today. as we gather the facts, i will be clear. i condemn political violence we all must do our part to ensure that this incident does not lead to more violence. i am thankful that former president trump is safe i commend the u.s. secret service and law enforcement partners for their vigilance. as president biden said, our administration will ensure the secret service has every resource capability and protected if measure necessary to carry out its critical mission while the palm beach county sheriff offered an
10:08 pm
explanation as to why donald trump's secret service protection was, quote, limited take a listen for golf courses surrounded by shrubbery. so when somebody gets into the shrubbery, they're pretty much out of sight. >> all right at this level that he is but right now, he's not the sitting president. >> if he won, we would have this hire a golf course around. what because he's not security is limited to the areas that the secret service dbs possible so i would imagine that the next time becomes at a golf course, they'll probably be a little more people around the perimeter the secret service did exactly what they should have done well, joining me now is daniel bruna a retired supervisory special agent with the fbi and the president of the brunette sierra group. >> great to have you with us. >> please share with us the latest information you are learning. >> well, it it's remarkable that the amount of information that's being developed here. so this individual clearly had
10:09 pm
a lot of electronic evidence and the fbi, their main purpose, right now this evening, overnight the fbi miami command posts will be collecting all this digital evidence this individual had a tremendous amount of data tremendous amount of social footprint as they were discussing that the investigation has gone global because he's been he would traveled over to ukraine right at the outset of the war. so they're going to have you guys gonna want to find out why he was over there, what it was motivations were and they're going to want to see the pathway to violence. how did he get to where he did? what happened today? where did it start? and they're going to look at everything is digital footprint all the way back before ukraine. going back and further to find out at what point the individual decided to go this route. this clearly was not an incident that was a individual that was attempting something out of circumstance it just an opportunity. this was clearly planned, targeted attack on the former vice the
10:10 pm
former president he had ballistic plates set up on the fence. he had a gopro which was theoretically going to livestreamed the event he was prepared in a sniper position with a rifle, which is a very high powered rifle, which clearly with some training, he could have reached the president who was apparently three to 500 yards away. >> this individual is clearly was premeditated. >> he planned to this and these are the things the fbi is going to be striking, collecting all the physical evidence digitally well, evidence and through interviews, all the individuals that were surrounding him but daniel, the fact that the rifle was poking through through the bushes that would suggest that he's not vast experienced no. clearly he was not that it clearly you're you're giving your position up. >> any sniper who is trained will be doing his best attempt to hide as the sheriff just noted the bushes surrounding these fences provide a lot of cover and concealment to
10:11 pm
anybody. >> and there have been reports that individuals are seeking photographs of the former president have clearly been seen inside this fence. and amongst these bushes. so it's something that the secret service agent who was able to return fire was looking for, who was attempting to look at the fence line for individuals he clearly wasn't a position with especially with those two plates up in that photograph providing additional cover and concealment but the fact that the rifle was sticking out of the fence clearly gave up his position and he was not as prepared as he was if he was giving up his position like that daniel, how is ron ralph able to get so close to donald trump, the republican presidential nominee, as we heard from the county sheriff, then he said, well, he's not the sitting president, but but still this is a presidential candidate who two months ago had an attempt on his life so how did this alleged gunman gets so close to donald trump
10:12 pm
while the president and the united states and the vice president, united states have different type of secret service coverage around them. as the sheriff's stated, most likely, those roads surrounding the golf course, if the president or vice president had been there it would have been a secure a candidate. has historically received secret service protection, but at a much smaller bubble around the candidate. i think that needs to be readdress. i think that has to be discussed now, between the u.s. secret service and congress to discuss that in two who increase the bubble for president trump clearly is now the victim of a second assassination attempt, which is unprecedented in presidential history only president of ford was. there were two attempts against his life during his presidency. but nobody at a candidate level has had two attempts upon their life. i think this needs to be addressed now especially with the threats that are coming from international individuals,
10:13 pm
international governments against former president trump. >> i think the conversation needs to be had that if he's a candidate and it's decided that he needs to have increased coverage. >> that the candidate needs to have coverage, much like the president, the united states, or the vice president united but it's something that needs to be addressed because this rhetoric is not going away, it's not going to change. and this, we still have 50 something days until the election. i think i think we're going to see a lot more unfortunately, a lot more problems so the secret service is really to reevaluate their position. >> dana, you were making a reference to those foreign threats against trump by iran. but i now want to mention that donald trump has praised the secret service and law enforcement, but clearly, this raises questions about their ability to protect tech, not just donald trump, but, but all candidates i think it does it. >> and that's where i'm saying is the discussion needs to be
10:14 pm
had as to increasing the the bubble of protection around former president trump and other candidates. the president of the united states. and it needs to be discussed now with the threat at of drone warfare that, that's clearly developing in the ukraine. i think that is creating a new world, a new environment that the threats to persons very important positions need to be looked at as two different types of coverage. and when the us a secret service were not able to get their anti-drone capabilities up over butler, the individual in pennsylvania was able to get his drone up. clearly, this is a new world, the 21st century advancements in a.i. moved the threat level to a new new level? and the secret service really needs to address it and possibilities and whether it be locking down an entire area around the golf course or other ways. and that
10:15 pm
will need to be determined with technology and advancements daniel brunner, we certainly appreciate your insights. thanks so much for joining us my pleasure well, sources tell cnn that u.s. intelligence officials recently briefed donald trump's campaign of a potential threat from iran. >> they said the country was planning to step up attacks on the former president and people around him and also engage in cyber security attacks. >> authorities had also obtained intelligence about a potential plot by iran before the attempt on the former president's life back in july. well, there's no indication that either incident involved iran well, still ahead, congressional republicans react to the apparent assassination attempts with some calling for investigations into what happened partnering, but the women's tennis association to remove boundaries

10:20 pm
course in west palm beach on sunday secret service agents opened fire after they spotted a man pointing a rifle through the fence along the perimeter of the golf course one official says the man was about 300 to 500 yards away from trump. the former president was not injured and is safe while some republicans on capitol hill are calling for investigations into this apparent assassination attempt as well as the security surrounding trump senate minority leader mitch mcconnell posted on x very grateful president trump is safe after another attempted assassination attempts. and that there is no place for political violence in our country. and those responsible for it must be held to account i hope and expect that the u.s and the fbi will conduct a thorough, swift, and transparent investigation is from congressman mike waltz of florida. as i've said before,
10:21 pm
the july 13 assassination attempt was not an isolated incident. and that we can take our time investigating as domestic and foreign threats are ongoing as a member of the assassination taskforce, i expect the secret service to brief us this week donald trump's running mate, j.d. vance, said he spoke with the former president before news of the apparent assessment nation intend to win public. he posted this. >> i'm glad president trump is safe. >> he was amazingly in good spirits, still much we don't know, but i'll be hugging my kids extra tight tonight and saying a prayer of gratitude. >> well joining me now from los angeles is cnn, senior political analyst ron brownstein. >> he's also senior editor for the atlantic. ron, as always, good to see you political violence, it would seem is becoming the new norm. how will this impact the presidential election campaign? >> yeah, i don't think it's going to have a big impact on the outcome of the election. i
10:22 pm
think we saw the first assassination attempt kind of fade as i political kind of motivator or a wedge. but really what we're seeing is a transformation. i think of american life. i mean, just think about how routine threats and actual attempts at political violence have become not only here at the apex of american politics with the former president, but with a local education officials, public health officials, local governments, a kidnap attempt against the governor of michigan. we have moved into a different era in which fitch, they kind of backbeat of political threats and threats of violence have become much more common and it does not seem we are in any way turning a corner away from this. in fact, it does seem to be more likely that this will continue to intensify ron donald trump's team sent out a fundraising email shortly after the alleged attempted assassination. i want to get your thoughts on that well,
10:23 pm
look, i mean, you know they are going to obviously they trump throughout whenever any kind of missile fortune or setback befalls him. >> he basically argues that he is being targeted because he is standing up for his voters. and that was the way he reacted to obviously all of the indictments and criminal trials he faced. so i'm not surprised that they would do that here that isn't really the issue. but i think for me, in terms of this, i mean, it's more about his role in creating a climate in which threats of political violence are becoming much more normalized as a society. we don't want anyone taking a shot at donald trump we also don't want donald trump's spreading baseless, racist accusations against haitian immigrants in ohio. they could end up with someone taking a shot at one of them. i mean, there was some thought after
10:24 pm
the first assassination attempt that everybody would look in the mirror and step back from the u.s of divisive and dehumanizing and violent rhetoric and that is far from what we have seen. so you do worry, as i said, about where this is going, not only for those who are at the apex of politics and have, you know, a law enforcement protection, even if there are reasons to question the adequacy of it. but all across the country. now, with election officials being about threats that are becoming more common we are heading into a different period and we're already in a different period and really everyone in society needs to look at it and say, is this the way we want to live? >> ron, you bring up donald trump's language on the campaign trail, and i guess i want to know where you stand on this. i mean, does it play into what we are seeing right now in the united states? >> well, i mean, anybody who would do almost anyone who would attempted assassination i
10:25 pm
think almost by definition, and certainly in these two cases are not someone who follow the straight lines of political discourse as we understand them, they are not people whose views kind of easily map onto the partisan debate and so i think that's the case in both the pennsylvania attempt and this attempt by someone apparent attempt by someone who seemed to be ricocheting all over the political map. >> but look, look at the way donald trump talked about the january 6 insurrection. at the they and the way he said that the perpetrator, the rioters, were being badly treated. he basically framed one of the rioter who was killed as a martyr. he has played an outsized role in normalizing the idea of political j.d. vance today would not even really condemn the proud boys who are gathering bringing his own state and compare his remarks on television with those of the republican governor of the state again we
10:26 pm
have to decide as a society, are we willing to live this way? are we willing to reward a political behavior that raises the temperature and increases the risk of violence. donald trump does not deserve to have someone targeted him were equally a haitian immigrant who is here legally under a program that was signed into law by a republican president that mitch mcconnell voted to create, among others, does not need, does not deserve to have threats you know, applied to them that could result in someone threatening their safety as well trump's support as have obviously gone into conspiracy theory mode. >> i mean, we heard from the governor of florida, ron desantis saying that he's state will launch its own investigation separate to the federal investigation that is underway setting on social media that the people deserve. the truth. >> do you expect this to go into overdrive well, yeah. i mean, look, there are
10:27 pm
legitimate questions about security, right. i mean, two attempts in this short a period of time with people who have gotten relatively close to the president, especially the first time it is totally legitimate for congress to ask questions but what desantis is talking about something very different. i mean, he's kind of you know, implying that somehow the federal government is, is not you know, more than implying he strongly suggested the federal government is not going to give you the truth. you have elon musk put out and this is not unique for this occasion, truly reprehensible comments tonight on his former the website formerly known as twitter yeah you know, so much of the met look if there was a democratic candidate who had two assassination attempts, i am sure democrats would be, would be very exercised. >> but again, we need to think about, is this the way we want to live? because every sign is
10:28 pm
that this is going to get better, not worse, and where it's really troublesome and worrisome. and i think most insidious is not even in this kind of attempt at the leader of a political party. it's what we have seen at the grassroots for people who are on school boards or public health officials. and certainly election officials and the way in which this is becoming much more common, a trump of former trump department of homeland security official said to me he immediately after january 6, that she worried we were moving into our own version of the troubles in northern ireland where threats and realities of political violence just becomes a much more common backbeat to our life that is clearly the path that we are on. and we need a broad kind of society-wide effort to marginal and to condemn the use of of the humanizing language. and they toleration of political violence. and because otherwise, we're going to see more of this, not less it's a terrifying prospect. >> ron brownstein, always a

10:33 pm
provided a photo of his car. police later detained a man on interstate 95, law enforcement sources have identified him as 58-year-old ryan weasley, ralph it comes as e congressional task force investigating the first attempt on trump's life two months ago is requesting a briefing with the secret service following sunday's incident cnn's kyung lah is following the story from los angeles and has more details on the person being detained the investigation now as a global one, as investigators try to figure out who exactly is ryan wesley ralph, what cnn has been able to compile per our investigative team is that he is a 58-year-old man and he has an extensive social media history, according to various previous posts and pictures that we have been able to gather across the web we found a go gofundme page that he was asking people to help donate to
10:34 pm
help fund his stay in ukraine. >> he traveled to kyiv and you can see these pictures posted here. if he was there, he was asking friend and to help fund his visit and encouraging others to join him in ukraine and it appears that this travel was extremely unofficial. he claims in this gofundme post that he was traveling there to support the people of ukraine that he planned to say at a hostel with a military unit, and that he was donating tactical gear to soldiers fighting on the front lines. none of this though does appear to be something that we can prove at this point. this is what he had been posting on that gofundme page. we have been able to determine according to public records that he was splitting his time between hawaii and north carolina finer in hawaii, he was a self-employed affordable housing builder. he started in 2018, a company called camp, a box honolulu. it's a company that built storage units and
10:35 pm
tiny houses he according to a local paper there that had interviewed him, that he had been donating one of these two a homeless people in hawaii in north carolina. he has an extensive history there dating back many years. and according to federal campaign finance records, he had registered as an unaffiliated voter without a party in 2012. he did vote this year in the state's democratic primary in march, according to the north carolina state board of elections, and he had contributed more than $100 to act blew it is a site that funds democratic campaigns and north carolina public records does show that he had various brushes with the law. he had barricaded himself with a weapon in 2002 after being pulled over by police and he had barricaded themselves for a number of hours in that standoff, public records also show that he has a number of court cases dating back to the
10:36 pm
19th were state and federal authorities repeatedly accused them of failing to pay his taxes and that he was ordered by various judges to pay thousands of dollars plaintiffs in various civil suits one thing that the fbi, according to my colleague josh campbell, would be focusing on is trying to call that social media profile on as far as his recent mindset in a separate post on x, the former twitter, he had been tagging president joe biden, as well as vice president kamala harris, encouraging them to visit people who were injured at the rally at the first assassination attempt of the former president trump. he wrote in a post directed to harris to please come and visit the people are injured and then in an april post, he tagged president biden's presidential account and he was making suggestions about what the tagline for the campaign should be. we were also the investigative unit was also able to reach the eldest son of
10:37 pm
the man who has been detained and that son via text told cnn that he saw his father despite all the records we've been able to pull on him. he described him as a loving and caring father. and this doesn't sound like the man i know to do anything crazy much less violent. kyung lah, cnn, los angeles we'll go of course, have long been a source of concern among that secret service officials trying to keep the former president's save that often the largest outdoor area of prison can visit. it would be assassins could easily hide among the landscape features secret service agents typically follow the president's in golf carts, while others secure the holes ahead. >> the palm beach county sheriff said the course would have been surrounded if trump were the sitting president. will glenn scoon is a security management consultant and he joins us now from the hague thank you for joining us until we how was this suspect able to
10:38 pm
get so close to donald trump? >> and i guess how did he know that the former president was there? >> well, that's the big question here. i mean, this incident stands out because it was not set at an event or not at the resident of the victim? so normally speaking, all of the incidents we've had in past history the targeting of presidents and presidential candidates, vice president's 99% of that has been set at a preannounced location or at their residence. >> this incident really stands out for the question you just posed, which is how to this person find out president trump was on the golf course at that moment that i'm sure that that's a main line of inquiry right now for both the secret service and the fbi again, we just explain the goal, of course, is one of the most difficult places to protect a presidential candidate that being donald trump and tilt tell us about the difficulties
10:39 pm
we know that this was a last-minute decision to play golf, but considering that assassination attempt on the former president two months ago why would they just allow him to make that last minute decision well, part of security package is also varying the schedule. so it's not simply putting in manpower and covering everything 100% and that's the challenge here. of course, for vice presidential candidate or multiple candidates here in the running of course. and we still have the president and we still have former president's. so the resources of the us secret service are finite. they try and they have upped it. >> as far as we know since the incident on 13th of july for specifically for president trump. >> but there is a limit to what can be covered, especially if there is a short-term decision. hey, let's go voting. let's go to the beach. let's go to the golf course as you already mentioned, large area, natural
10:40 pm
camouflage, shrubbery around trees around it even when you use a lot of capacity and whether that's drones, whether that's heat laser to look at what's in the tree line. it's still a major effort, particularly when you have to pull it on late notice. but i do expect now an extra step by the secret service to in a sense, have the package for mr. trump be very close to that for mr. biden will the perimeters moving forward be redefined considering there was an ak 47 rifle and scope found in the bushes along with two backpacks containing ceramic plates may well be part of the reason there is that it's a dirty little secret in our security profession that longer range shots are certainly possible. >> the acknowledged world record for a a sniper killed in combat from october 2023 and ukraine by ukrainian sniper was
10:41 pm
about 3.2 kilometers. so roughly two miles distance. now that's too much to be looking at continuity are continuously when we look at a situation such as a vice presidential candidate. but certainly this incident, because it's the second one dealing with a gun along done over distance. it's certainly going to weigh in on the scale in favor of what can we do with these distances and how can we limit? the exposure to this as we know, we've got 50 days until election day. >> kamala harris, donald trump, they would both will they had both been planning to hit the campaign trail and on overdrive. will that now have to all be reevaluated? considering what has happened here i think there will be a rebel evaluation and i think what we'll probably see is the
10:42 pm
line that was initially drawn in pennsylvania of the consideration of more indoor events. >> i think that will be continued and it might mean also less exposure at airports on the airport ramp in the arrival. >> and likely indeed more indoor where simply the environment can be better controlled glen way we focus on the presidential candidates but there's also, they're running mates and i guess the question now is, can the secret service can law enforcement protect all of these candidates? well, they are to the extent that the law requires that i think again, we saw a success here today. >> it was not necessarily a failure. this is what they're there for. they detected it on time responded adequately, and then there was very good cooperation apparently with the two sheriff's departments. so the suspect could be rapidly detained but certainly from from j.d vance to mr. walz
10:43 pm
that's part of the package, but also i think there probably will be a reconsideration for former presidents to make sure that the totality of what they're responsible for a secret service is covered and that we're not going to see sort of an imbalance here with everybody covering mr. trump. and it being neglected anywhere else, and i wouldn't expect to see any of that kind of reaction gunn's good. >> we certainly appreciate your analysis. thank you so much for joining us. >> thank you next, more on the security situation around donald trump's palm beach golf course. you're in the cnn newsroom going to die and i thought that was it earth with yeah. >> schreiber now streaming on max it's hard to explain what this feels like you're moving piles of earth toeing up to four for 4,000 pounds of blades
