Donald Trump lays blame for assassination attempt on Biden and Harris

Ex-president claimed Biden administration weaponized justice department and caused staffing shortages at Secret Service

Donald Trump has blamed Joe Biden and Kamala Harris for last month's failed assassination attempt against him by accusing them of making it difficult for the Secret Service to protect him.

The Republican presidential nominee's claim - for which he offered no evidence - was made on the television talkshow Dr Phil, hosted by Phil McGraw, on Tuesday. The remarks follow disclosures that several Secret Service agents from the Pittsburgh field office had been placed on administrative leave after the 13 July shooting.
