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.
