60 Minutes reports on Presidential assassination attempts plus animal cruelty by a wildlife documentary contributor.
Aiming for Trouble
Donald Trump is used to being, figuratively, in the sights of his detractors. It’s a prerequisite for being one of the world’s most divisive politicians. What he’s not used to though is when it happens for real. Unbelievably, in the last two and a half months, two people have taken aim at Donald Trump with weapons. In July, the former – and want-to-be-next – President was grazed by a bullet at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania, and then two weeks ago he was targeted again while playing golf in Florida. Fortunately, both assassination attempts failed. But as Amelia Adams reports, what the attacks have done is not only highlight security failures in the protection of America’s leaders, they’ve also sent this year’s presidential campaign into meltdown.

Married to a Monster
The crimes of Doctor Adam Britton can only be described as grotesque. To the world, Britton portrayed himself as a wildlife warrior. He was a respected Darwin-based crocodile expert who made nature documentaries and at times even worked alongside Sir David Attenborough. But he hid a despicable secret. In 2022, he was arrested and charged with committing vile acts of animal cruelty. Last month Britton, 53, was sentenced to 10 years in prison for the rape, torture and killing of as many as 42 dogs. For two years, Britton’s now former wife, Erin, has stayed silent about the man she once loved, but now she wants to speak out. In an exclusive interview on 60 Minutes, she tells Tara Brown how she is grappling with a terrifying truth: she was married to a monster.
