Bodycam Footage Shows Standoff Over Trump Assassin’s Dead Body

Breaking News: New Footage Shows Police and Secret Service Confirming Identity of Trump Assassin Before Shooting

Shocking new footage has been released showing local police and a Secret Service agent standing over the dead body of Thomas Matthew Crooks, the sniper who attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump. The video, released by Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley, shows the aftermath of the shooting at a Pennsylvania rally where Crooks wounded Trump and killed a firefighter.

The bodycam footage shows Crooks’ lifeless body with a pool of blood on the roof where he carried out the attack. In the video, a man who appears to be a Secret Service agent identifies Crooks as the suspicious person they had been warned about before the shooting.

Crooks, a 20-year-old sniper, had opened fire at the rally, grazing Trump’s ear and killing a firefighter, while injuring two others. He was quickly shot and killed by a Secret Service agent.

Law enforcement sources revealed that the Secret Service had been warned about Crooks before the rally but allowed Trump to take the stage anyway. The agency was aware of a “character of suspicion” on the grounds but did not know about the gun in Crooks’ possession.

Senator Grassley has called on the Secret Service to release more information about the security failures that led to the assassination attempt. The release of the video comes on the same day that Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle stepped down following pressure from lawmakers.

In a letter to the Secret Service and Department of Homeland Security, Grassley demanded answers about the agency’s handling of the event. He questioned the joint jurisdiction with local police over the building where Crooks was positioned, as well as the deployment of drones during the rally.

The new footage and revelations about the events leading up to the shooting have sparked concerns about security protocols at high-profile events. The public is eager to learn more about the circumstances surrounding the assassination attempt and the actions taken by law enforcement agencies.
