Report: Biden-Harris Admin Is Stonewalling Congress’s Investigation Into First Trump Assassination Attempt
By The Federalist. The Biden-Harris administration is refusing to forfeit information relevant to the first assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump, a newly released bipartisan Senate report alleges.
Published on Wednesday by the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, the interim analysis documents the massive security breakdown by the Secret Service (USSS) during the July 13 attempt on Trump’s life in Butler County, Pennsylvania. The investigation was spearheaded by Sens. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., Gary Peters, D-Mich., Rand Paul, R-Ky., and Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn.
Among the notable takeaways from the report are allegations that relevant agencies within the Biden-Harris administration are refusing to provide records necessary to the committee’s investigation.
The analysis noted that “key requests to [the Federal Bureau of Investigation] FBI, [Department of Homeland Security] DHS, [Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives] ATF and USSS remain outstanding.” It specifically highlighted how the “majority of documents provided by the USSS and DHS are heavily redacted.”
“This has unnecessarily hindered the Committee’s ability to carry out its constitutional authority to investigate and acquire information necessary to identify needed reforms,” the report reads. “These overly burdensome redactions, including of communications related to the same individuals who the Committee interviewed, only served to delay the Committee’s ability to conduct these interviews and carry out its investigation efficiently and effectively.” (Read more from “Report: Biden-Harris Admin Is Stonewalling Congress’s Investigation Into First Trump Assassination Attempt” HERE)

Trump to Rally at Site of 1st Assassination Attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania
By CBS News. Former President Donald Trump will return to the site of the first assassination attempt against him in Butler, Pennsylvania, in the first week of October, according to two sources familiar with the Trump campaign’s planning.
Leslie Osche, chair of the Butler County Commissioners, confirmed to CBS Pittsburgh that the second Trump rally will be on Oct. 5.
The rally will take place at the Butler Farm Show fairgrounds, where gunman Thomas Crooks shot at him and grazed his ear on July 13. The set-up for the upcoming event is likely to be similar to the July rally.
Trump has repeatedly said he’d return to Butler, writing on his social media platform Truth Social in late July that he was going back to Butler for a “BIG AND BEAUTIFUL RALLY.”
Crooks opened fire on Trump from a rooftop roughly 400 feet away from the former president during an outdoor campaign rally in Butler. A CBS News video analysis determined that the gunman fired eight shots in under six seconds before he was fatally struck by a round from one of the Secret Service counter snipers — a fact later confirmed by the FBI. Pennsylvania firefighter Corey Comperatore was shot and killed at the July rally, and two other attendees were seriously injured.
