Authorities are investigating the possible links between an exploding Tesla Cybertruck outside President Donald Trump’s hotel in Las Vegas and the attack on New Year’s partygoers in New Orleans.
Both attackers have a direct link via the military which the FBI is investigating, the Associated Press reported.
However, President Joe Biden sought to downplay any connections, telling the press:
“There’s nothing to report on that score at this time.”
In the early morning hours of New Year’s Day, a pickup truck driven by 42-year-old Islamic terrorist Shamsud-Din Jabbar plowed into a crowd on New Orleans’ famous Bourbon Street.
Jabbar then got out of his vehicle, which had Islamic State flags attached to it, and opened fire on the crowd.
The death toll has climbed to 15 while at least another 30 are injured.
The FBI is investigating this incident as a terrorist attack.
They are also looking for additional suspects who may have planted an explosive device in the French Quarter.
Surveillance cameras filmed three men and a woman planting the explosives.
Curiously, a Cybertruck that contained fireworks exploded and caught fire outside of a Las Vegas hotel owned by President Trump on that same day.
The man driving the electric vehicle, identified as Matthew Livelsberger, was killed in the explosion, and seven others were injured.
However, the White House insists there’s no connection.
Some are wondering if there’s a coverup as both Jabbar and Livelsberger served at Fort Bragg and in Afghanistan, although not at the same times, the LA Times reported.
Questions abound, given the timing of the incidents and similar military service.
However, items linking Jabbar to the terror group ISIS were found in the vehicle used in the attack, while no such evidence exists for the Las Vegas incident.
Biden directly denied that any link had been found in his remarks to the press on Wednesday.
“Additionally, we’re tracking the explosion of a Cybertruck outside the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas,” Biden shared.
“Law enforcement and the intelligence community are investigating this as well, including whether there’s any possible connection with the attack in New Orleans.”
“Thus far, there’s nothing to report on that score at this time,” Biden said.
“I’ve directed my team to make sure every resource, every resource is made available to federal, state, and local law enforcement to complete the investigation in New Orleans quickly and to make sure there’s no remaining threat to the American people.”
WATCH:
In a Thursday post on Truth Social, Trump slammed Biden’s administration for the failures that led to these attacks.
“Our Country is a disaster, a laughing stock all over the World!” Trump wrote.
“This is what happens when you have OPEN BORDERS, with weak, ineffective, and virtually nonexistent leadership,” Trump added.
“The DOJ, FBI, and Democrat state and local prosecutors have not done their job.”
Trump correctly stated that Biden’s federal agencies “spent all of their waking hours unlawfully attacking their political opponent, ME, rather than focusing on protecting Americans from the outside and inside violent SCUM that has infiltrated all aspects of our government, and our Nation itself.”
“The USA is breaking down – A violent erosion of Safety, National Security, and Democracy is taking place all across our Nation.”
“Only strength and powerful leadership will stop it,” Trump later concluded.
“See you on January 20th.
“MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
America is reeling from these incidents that are happening just as Trump is about to take office.
The nation needs a strong leader, and Trump’s inauguration can’t come soon enough.
