Just past the dark one-year anniversary of the first assassination attempt against then-candidate Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, the American people know more than ever about the security failures leading up to the incident that were uncovered by congressional and federal watchdog probes.
However, several important questions remain unanswered about what transpired that day, Senator Ron Johnson, R-Wis., whose committee is leading a probe into the incident, told Just the News. Chief among the unknowns: the would-be assassin’s motivation.
Sen. Johnson said an important next step would be for law enforcement to release video footage and other evidence, including FBI investigation documents, related to the assassination attempt to provide more transparency to the American public.
“We requested their notes, the 302s on those FBI interviews. We’d like to see the body cam video. We’d like to see the cameras from cars, you know—we want to see all that evidence,” Johnson told the Just the News, No Noise TV show this week. “The American people have a right to see this.”
Sen. Johnson spearheaded an early Senate investigation into the assassination attempt at a Butler, Pennsylvania, campaign rally. July 13 marked the one-year anniversary of that attempt, in which Thomas Crooks scaled a building overlooking a Trump rally while the former president was speaking and fired multiple shots into the crowd, injuring the former president and killing Buffalo Township fire chief Corey Comperatore, who was an attendee.
