In an extraordinary turn of events, the attempted assassination of U.S. President Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania has raised questions about security protocols and the actions of the Secret Service. The confrontation between GOP senators and the head of the Secret Service on the floor of the Republican convention was fiery, with senators absolutely furious after learning that the shooter had been identified as suspicious a full 19 minutes before he tried to assassinate the former president. But why was he allowed to take the stage? What led to this security breakdown?
The lawmakers demanded to know why the Secret Service still allowed the former president to take the stage, given the known threat. Their disappointment was palpable as they questioned the decision to proceed with the event. "Why would anyone allow threats to go on stage when you know you've got to have snipers that are trying?" one senator asked. And indeed, why wasn't the threat taken seriously?
As we delve deeper into the investigation, we're learning new details about what the gunman was doing in the days and hours leading up to his attempt. Thanks to briefings provided to lawmakers, a new statement by Butler Township, and new video obtained by CNN, we have a clearer picture of the shooter's actions. But what motivated him?
CNN's Danny Freeman is in Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, near the shooter's home, and has obtained crucial video evidence. The video shows a person wearing clothing resembling Thomas Matthew Crooks in front of the building complex where he would ultimately perch and fire at former President Trump. This video was taken about an hour before the shooting, making it a crucial part of the investigation. What was Crooks doing in that hour?
We also have dramatic new video showing law enforcement officials ramming fencing with one of their vehicles to gain access to the outer perimeter where the shooter was taking shots at the former president. This video was taken just after the shooting, and it raises questions about the response time and effectiveness of the law enforcement on the scene. Could the response have been faster?
As we get more information about the larger investigation, law enforcement sources tell CNN that there were pictures on the shooter's phone of both President Biden and President Trump, as well as other political figures. But there was no threatening language accompanying any of those photos. What was the significance of these photos?
Another piece of new information is that Crooks apparently searched for information on major depression disorder. However, law enforcement officials say that there's no evidence that he himself had any diagnosis. Was this a cry for help or a sign of a deeper issue?
Lastly, cell phone data shows that the shooter visited the rally site twice before the shooting and was at the site at least 70 minutes prior to the shooting. What was he doing during that time?
The death of one of the rally goers, injuries, and the near-fatal shot aimed at Donald Trump make these details disturbing to anyone who saw what happened. The House Oversight Committee has subpoenaed the Secret Service director, Kimberly Cheeto, to appear before the panel on Monday as they investigate the security breakdown that apparently made the shooting possible. Will we finally get answers to the questions that linger?
As we reflect on the events of the day, it's clear that there are still many unanswered questions. The attempted assassination of a former president is a grave matter, and the public deserves to know what led to this security breakdown. We will continue to follow this investigation and bring you updates as more information comes to light. But for now, the questions remain: What led to this attempt? Could it have been prevented? And what changes need to be made to ensure the safety of our leaders?
