‘Catastrophic Failure’: Secret Service Under Scrutiny After Trump Assassination Attempt
The Secret Service is now under scrutiny after an assassination attempt nearly succeeded on former President Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican 2024 presidential nominee.
The shooter, identified as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, was able to position himself on a rooftop with a direct line of sight to Trump and fire a bullet that went through his ear.
The shooter was approximately 150 yards away from where Trump was speaking.
Multiple witnesses also claimed they tried to flag the shooter to the Secret Service and police.
The shooter was so close and visible that even some rally-goers spotted the shooter and took video as he was attempting to assassinate Trump. (Read more from “‘Catastrophic Failure’: Secret Service Under Scrutiny After Trump Assassination Attempt” HERE)
