The man, who is in his 50s, was taken into custody by the West Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office after a traffic stop on I-95.
Trump issued a defiant statement after the apparent attempt on his life. “There were gunshots in my vicinity but before rumors start spiraling out of control, I wanted you to hear this first: I AM SAFE AND WELL!” he wrote in a campaign alert letting supporters know he was unharmed.
Law enforcement sources told The Post the suspect is a white man in his 50s who is believed to be from Hawaii. An assault rifle was recovered at the scene, which was earlier reported to be an AK-47.
The suspect had a GoPro camera on him at the time of his arrest, leading authorities to investigate whether he was intending to record himself committing the shooting, sources said.
The Secret Service said they have yet to determine a motive, but sources tell The Post the suspect made frequent pro-Ukraine and pro-Taiwan posts on social media.
