The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has come under renewed heat after admitting it had been previously notified that the suspect in a second assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump illegally had a gun due to his status as a convicted felon.
The missed opportunity involving Ryan Wesley Routh is not the first time the bureau was notified about an individual who went on to commit, or attempted to commit, a major crime.
The FBI told Just The News in a statement on Tuesday that it receives thousands of tips every day, which is fielded through its National Threat Operations Center (NTOC) in West Virginia.
