Former President Donald J. Trump claimed without evidence in an interview broadcast on Tuesday that President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris had denied him sufficient Secret Service protection and that they were therefore partly responsible for the assassination attempt against him last month.“Our people were always fighting to get more security, more Secret Service, and he knew that we didn’t have enough,” Mr. Trump said of Mr. Biden during an interview with the television host Phil McGraw, known as Dr. Phil. “I think to a certain extent it’s Biden’s fault and Harris’s fault. And I’m the opponent. Look, they were weaponizing government against me. They brought in the whole D.O.J. to try and get me. They weren’t too interested in my health and safety.”The Secret Service has been under a cloud since July 13, when the gunman was able to fire, unimpeded, on Mr. Trump at an outdoor campaign rally in Butler, Pa. The attack grazed Mr. Trump’s ear, killed a spectator and seriously wounded two others. The F.B.I. is investigating, and congressional leaders have also opened inquiries. But there is no evidence that Mr. Biden or Ms. Harris knew about any deficiencies in Mr. Trump’s protection.The former president’s remarks to Dr. Phil were similar to what Mr. Trump had written in a social media post in July, when he blamed Mr. Biden and Ms. Harris for the shooting and said they had failed to protect him.

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D) on Wednesday signed an executive order banning “conversion therapy” for minors — skirting the Republican-led state legislature and setting up a likely legal challenge.Beshear said the new policy, which goes into effect immediately, is an overdue step to protect children from a widely discredited medical practice that attempts to change a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity.“Kentucky cannot possibly reach its full potential unless it is free from discrimination by or against any citizen — unless all our people feel welcome in our spaces, free from unjust barriers and supported to be themselves,” said Beshear, who is one of two Democratic governors in the South.Major professional medical organizations — including the American Medical Association and the American Psychiatric Association — have denounced conversion therapy as harmful and ineffective, citing research that shows the controversial treatment leads to increased risk of suicide and depression.Previous attempts to ban conversion therapy in Kentucky have stalled or failed in the state legislature. Opponents have argued that prohibiting the practice tramples parental rights and infringes on freedom of speech. On Wednesday, a slew of legislators and conservative groups took aim at Beshear’s use of his executive powers to override Kentucky’s legislative branch — and some vowed to challenge the ban in court.
