Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump called on Apple Inc. to aid federal investigators in accessing phones and applications belonging to two men accused of plotting assassination attempts on his life.
The former president said that the FBI had been unable to access “three potentially foreign-based apps” on the phone of Thomas Matthew Crooks, the Pennsylvania man who shot at and grazed Trump’s ear during a rally in July.
