Biden says he instructed probe into attempted killing of Trump 'be thorough and swift'

US President Joe Biden said Sunday that he had ordered an ongoing federal law enforcement investigation into the attempted assassination of ex-President Donald Trump "be thorough and swift."

Addressing the nation from the White House, Biden said he spoke by phone with Trump Saturday evening during a "short but good conversation," adding that he is "sincerely grateful that he's doing well and recovering."

"There's no place in America for this kind of violence, or any violence for that matter. An assassination attempt is contrary to everything we stand for as a nation, everything, it's not who we are as a nation. It's not American, and we cannot allow this to happen," he said.
