Trump Rally Gunman Spotted 90 Minutes Before Shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania
Jul 29, 2024, 06:22 PM
Newly released text messages and videos reveal that law enforcement officials were aware of Thomas Matthew Crooks, the gunman who attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13, more than 90 minutes before shots were fired. Local countersnipers and SWAT teams noticed Crooks' suspicious behavior and sent his photograph to a command center staffed by state troopers and Secret Service agents. Despite this, Trump was not removed from the stage. The Secret Service received photos of Crooks at the AGR building 26 minutes before the shooting at 5:45 PM, and text messages indicate that some law enforcement officers were aware of Crooks earlier than previously known. The incident has raised questions about the security measures in place and why Trump was not evacuated from the stage. Senator Johnson's investigative team has confirmed these findings, and Rep. Cory Mills has pledged to fund a parallel independent investigation into the security lapse.
