Assassination attempt on Trump: Doubts cast on security services
The aftermath of the assassination attempt on Donald Trump continues to resonate. Numerous doubts have emerged during the investigation. According to CNN's findings, radio conversations and text messages from American service agents indicate that they lost track of the potential assassin of the former US president.
It's worth recalling that the assassination attempt on Donald Trump occurred during a Republican Party election rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. On 13 July, Thomas Matthew Crooks fired several shots at the former president, with one of the bullets grazing Trump's ear.
Two people died in the attack, including the perpetrator himself, and three others were injured. Authorities are currently investigating how the attacker might have managed to fire several shots at Donald Trump.
Enigmatic findings by CNN. Did officials know about the shooter?
According to documents provided by Senator Chuck Grassley's office, American services were aware of a potential assassin. The personnel securing Donald Trump's meeting were discussing a "suspicious man" as early as 90 minutes before the shooting spree.
Conversations and text messages from the United States Secret Service and local officials indicate that officers monitored the man but lost sight of him.
I spotted him with a rangefinder, he was looking towards the stage. FYI. If you want, alert SS snipers to be on the lookout. I lost sight of him - wrote a concerned local police officer.
The evidence includes a photo of Thomas Matthew Crooks, taken at 17:14 (less than an hour before the attack) by one of the American police officers.
According to CNN journalists, the exchanged messages could be evidence that the assassination occurred due to improper communication between Secret Service agents and local police. At this time, the authorities have not commented on these allegations.
