Former President Donald Trump has revealed that he was not warned about the presence of a gunman before an assassination attempt during a rally in Pennsylvania on July 13. Despite multiple individuals attempting to notify authorities, Trump stated that the Secret Service did not inform him of any threat, which he believes could have prevented the incident. The gunman, identified as Thomas Crooks, shot Trump in the ear, but Trump survived the attack, attributing his survival to Divine Intervention. Trump expressed frustration and suspicion over the security lapses, questioning how the gunman was able to access the rooftop without being reported. In an interview with Jesse Watters on Fox News, Trump reiterated that no one from the Secret Service warned him. No resignations or firings have occurred within the Secret Service following the incident.
