                      Trump Assassination Attempt

  Mr. DURBIN. Madam President, like many Americans yesterday afternoon, 
I heard reports of what Federal law enforcement is investigating as a 
possible assassination attempt on former President Trump while he was 
golfing in Florida. Thankfully, the former President was not harmed, 
and there were no injuries, and the subject was quickly taken into 
custody.
  I am grateful for the work of the Secret Service and their law 
enforcement partners to keep the President and those around him safe.
  My staff was briefed by the Secret Service last night, and there is 
an active investigation into this incident as law enforcement gathers 
more details about what happened. As I have said many times, there is 
no place for violence in our country no matter what the motive. It must 
come to an end.
