Trump agrees to 'victim interview' with FBI after shooting

Former President Donald Trump has reportedly agreed to an interview with the FBI after a gunman tried to assassinate him at a recent rally in Pennsylvania.

CBS News reported that Trump would sit for a "standard victim interview" with the bureau's agents. It was not clear when the interview would take place.

"We want to get his perspective on what he observed," special agent Kevin Rojek said. "It is a standard victim interview."

According to the CBS report, the FBI was conducting 450 interviews in connection with the July 13 shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania. Rojek said that the FBI had sought information from 86 companies about the shooter, 20-year-old Thomas Matthews Crooks, who was killed by agents following the attack.
