<p>House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Turner (R-OH) said on Sunday that federal law enforcement officials have not ruled out the possibility that the two assassination attempts on former President Donald Trump this year were connected to Iran&#8217;s attempts to kill the former president.</p>
<p>Turner made the remarks during an interview on CBS News&#8217; &#8220;Face The Nation&#8221; with <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/margaret-brennan-norah-odonnell-slammed-over-debate-bias">host Margaret Brennan</a>.</p>
<p>The interview began with Brennan trying to get Turner to condemn Trump, Eric Trump, and JD Vance for pointing the finger at Democrats for the assassination attempts.</p>
<p>Turner refused to do so and instead said that the administration needed to be much stronger in responding to the threat from Iran against Trump.</p>
<p>&#8220;You have had no statements from the administration towards Iran as to what that would be, which would be an act of war,&#8221; he said. &#8220;And you don&#8217;t have any statements from Vice President Harris condemning this or even recognizing that there&#8217;s an active plot from a foreign nation to kill her opponent.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I think there&#8217;s certainly a role for her to play and for the president to play in this in both identifying that there are threats against Donald Trump that need to be acknowledged and responded to deter,&#8221; he continued.</p>
<p>He added, &#8220;I do think that Vice President Harris needs to actively state and acknowledge that her administration is saying a foreign power, which would be an act of war is actively trying to kill her opponent.&#8221;</p>
<p>Turner noted that the Biden-Harris administration &#8220;has made stronger statements about Iran&#8217;s hacking activities than they have about the active plot to kill Donald Trump, which the administration acknowledged is ongoing.&#8221;</p>
<p><b><a href="https://www.amiracist.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.amiracist.com/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1726313279401000&amp;usg=AOvVaw115_qPFFEePDP86-Fvo-Vd">Am I Racist?

<p>&#8220;There has to be an acknowledgement, which has not happened from Vice President Harris, that there&#8217;s active plots from a foreign nation to kill her opponent,&#8221; he added.</p>
<p>He said that he wants the FBI to release its findings so far from its investigations into the two would-be assassins who have tried to kill Trump over the last few months.</p>
<p>He pushed back on Brennan&#8217;s claim that there have been no substantiated ties between Iran and the would-be assassins.</p>
<p>&#8220;Saying that there have been no substantiated ties doesn&#8217;t mean that the investigation has concluded that there are no ties,&#8221; Turner said. &#8220;And I want those investigations to come to a conclusion and determine whether or not either of these plots have any nexus or connection to the active plot the administration is saying that Iran is plotting and attempting to kill Donald Trump, which, again, this administration needs to make clear to Iran that would be an act of war and needs to have a very strong response from the administration.&#8221;</p>
