The Trump Assassination Plots: What the Investigations Missed, and Why It Matters

Libertarian Institute, Dec 30, 2025 - History

On July 13, 2024, history came within millimeters of being drastically altered when a would-be assassin shot Donald Trump's ear. And yet, the public still doesn't have a clear picture of what happened on that nearly world-altering day, or why---despite Trump now being president. Same goes for the subsequent Sept. 15, 2024, assassination attempt, as well as several other plots against him, at least one of them purportedly involving the government of Iran. The Trump Assassination Plots aims to change this by providing the most comprehensive account of the attempts on Trump's life---and the most detailed profiles of the men behind them---to date. The FBI says there's nothing more to know about these events. This book proves otherwise.
