person person, then allegedly flood and has been pulled over in the cottage just to the north of west palm beach. now those are 2 very different stories, right? so we just don't know. and i think we need to emphasize the beginning of these stories that these events, which we often often get bad information. but we did, as you mentioned, heard from the former president and so thinking his supporters, it said i will always value your support. i think that's another interesting thing because the last time in september until july 13th, when this happened, donald trump immediately started fundraising off the attempted assassination attempt was at the republican national convention and there was giant banners that said, jesus saved trump, trump saves america. he's important for now, one of the people who his audience was killed. 2 other people were critically injured even though it only brace trumps year. but he was able to fundraise successfully off that attempt in july increasing his fundraising not 24 percent from the month before bringing in a total of $138700000.00 in july. so again, don't know w

not sure whether it is, are wondering why it's the sheriff, martin county is right north of palm beach, right north of west palm beach, which is where of course, donald trump's course was and he was talking about where they apprehended that vehicle and the person that they now have in the custody of the fbi, he was describing this person as having a calm demeanor when they apprehended him, obviously, still a lot of questions for this person. i imagine that's what officials are doing right now, wolf, but that is where martin county, as it has just north of west palm beach, if that gives us any indication of the direction this person was going in or what their intentions were there, wolf yeah, that's significant information indeed kaitlan, john miller, our law enforcement analysts, standing by as well. he's working his sources. you're getting more information. what else are you learning, john? >> well, as we said in the beginning of this reporting, this information is preliminary. it was expected to shift and change what we've developed is a little bit of a richer picture. law enforcement originally said sho

find him and i think less than an hour followed him for a little bit in the county just at north of west palm beach is police are out of the vehicle, force them to the side, arrested him and he is in custody. now, of course, we know that i went online and your social media, all of these reports are saying who the suspect is an older gentleman. but we're not going to go ahead with that until we have confirmation from sources or from the authorities. but again, it's the present, a former president sending out a letter to his supporters, as has mentioned saying, you know, i, i appreciate your support. so what does that mean? luckily, who's going to use this try and fundraise, he did that after the assassination attempt, or just over to months ago. and it worked for me. is fundraising increased by quite a bit. so don't know if will hear from the former president tonight. he tends to like to be on camera when the story is this much of a big deal. so we'll see. but haven't heard anything just yet other than to say that he is in fact safe. yeah, exactly. is your sign up has to call him and usually we do h
