Donald Trump briefed on suspected Iranian assassination plot

US intelligence officials have briefed Donald Trump about a suspected Iranian plot to kill him, his campaign has said.

The ODNI confirmed to the Guardian on Wednesday morning that the briefing took place.

Trump referred to the briefing in a post on his Truth Social site and predicted that another assassination attempt would be made against him.

Intelligence officials were reported to have been tracking an Iranian-backed conspiracy to kill Trump even before the 13 July attempt, which was carried out by a lone gunman, Thomas Crooks, who killed one rally attendee before being killed himself by a Secret Service agent.

Investigators have found no evidence that Crooks, 20, was part of a larger plot and have concluded that he acted alone.

Iran has denied plotting to assassinate Trump.

It came as a Senate report was issued on Wednesday on Trump being shot in July in an attempt to kill him at an election rally in Pennsylvania. It concluded that there was a failure of leadership among the Secret Service team assigned to protect him.
