Nathan Howard/Getty Images 2026-04-27T00:53:20.248Z Trump spoke to "60 Minutes" on Sunday, after the White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting on Saturday night. During the interview, the president was asked about the accused gunman's motives. Trump said none of the accusations in a written manifesto had anything to do with him. On Sunday, President Donald Trump reckoned with the string of assassination attempts he has faced this term. During an interview with CBS's "60 Minutes," Trump said he had read a manifesto written by the gunman who entered the annual press dinner in Washington, DC, on Saturday and was quickly subdued"He's radicalized. He was a Christian — a believer, and then he became an anti-Christian, and he had a lotta change," Trump said.The president pushed back when "60 Minutes" host Norah O'Donnell read a line from the manifesto that called Trump a pedophile and a rapist, among other accusations."I'm not a pedophile. You read that crap from some sick person? I got associated with all — stuff that has nothing to do with me. I was totally exonerated," Trump said. He added that he wasn't involved with "Epstein or other things" — referring to the disgraced financier and convicted sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein.Trump said he thought part of the reason he was facing threats stems from anti-Trump rhetoric and demonstrations like the "No Kings" protests, a series of rallies across the country."The reason you have people like that is you have people doing No Kings. I'm not a king. What I am — if I was a king, I wouldn't be dealing with you," he told O'Donnell. He said political violence has gone back hundreds of years, echoing comments from his Saturday night press conference that all countries face violence."People are assassinated. People are injured. People are hurt. And I'm not sure that it's any more now than there was," Trump said on "60 Minutes."In his press conference on Saturday night, Trump said being a president is "a dangerous profession" and that facing the threat of political violence is "part of the job."At 8:36 p.m. on Saturday night, shots were fired outside the ball...
