Melania Trump has released a video making a huge claim in relation to the assassination attempt against her husband, Donald Trump.

Melania took to social media to share her thoughts on the assassination attempt that took place while Trump was speaking at an open-air campaign rally.

The Republican candidate was on a stage near Butler, Pennsylvania, when a gunman, later identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, fired shots in his direction, striking his ear and causing it to bleed.

Trump was rushed from the stage by Secret Service agents, who later shot Crooks dead at the scene.

After the shooting, Trump took to social media to say 'much bleeding took place'.

He also thanked the Secret Service for their 'rapid response'.

"I was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear," Trump wrote on his platform, Truth Social.

"I knew immediately that something was wrong in that I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin.

"It is incredible that such an act can take place in our country."

Now, Melania has made a bold claim about the shooting in her video shared online, alleging there is 'more to the story' of her husband being targeted.

Speaking directly into the camera, Melania said: "The attempt to end my husband's life was a horrible, distressing experience.

"Now the silence around it feels heavy. I can't help but wonder why didn't law enforcement officials arrest shooter before the speech. There is definitely more to this story. And we need to uncover the truth."

The video comes to an end with an image promoting her upcoming memoir, Melania, which is set to be released in October.

Her claim comes after more details emerged about the assassination attempt in the days and weeks after it took place, with US Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle describing the event as 'unacceptable'.

Speaking to ABC News, she said it was 'something that shouldn't happen again'.

"The buck stops with me," she said. "I am the director of the Secret Service, and I need to make sure that we are performing a review and that we are giving resources to our personnel as necessary."

Melania's video comes just hours before Trump is set to debate his competitor, Kamala Harris, at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

The debate is set to begin at 9pm ET, 8pm CT and 6pm PT.
