The footage reveals the scene shortly after the shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, was killed, highlighting the confusion among law enforcement, including the Secret Service. Grassley \u2062pointed out concerns such as poor communication\u200b between\u200c local and federal agencies \u2063and a delayed\u2064 response in addressing potential explosives found near the shooter. The video also emphasized the need for law enforcement to utilize drones for site inspections. Grassley has criticized the \u200dSecret Service for its lack of transparency and called for public accountability regarding security protocols during the Trump rally. Recently, the FBI confirmed that Trump was indeed struck by a bullet during\u200c the attack.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section>\n<p>New video that has been released by Republican Sen.

The footage, shared on YouTube by Grassley&#8217;s office, captures Secret Service agents and members of the Beaver County Emergency Services Unit on the roof from which Thomas Matthew Crooks fired at Trump. The video includes images of Crooks&#8217; deceased body and a blood trail, as authorities attempt to comprehend the events that unfolded.<\/p>\n<p>Grassley expressed concerns based on bodycam footage reviewed by his office, particularly regarding &#8220;the fragmented and delayed communication between local and federal law enforcement.&#8221; He also noted worries about a seemingly slow response in identifying and neutralizing a potential detonator device found near Crooks&#8217; body. Although two explosive devices were later discovered in Crooks\u2019 vehicle, FBI Director Christopher Wray stated that analysis determined he could not have activated them from the rooftop where he shot Trump.<\/p>\n<p>The video further shows law enforcement discussing plans to use a drone to inspect a nearby water tower. Records obtained by Grassley indicate that an Unmanned Aerial System drone operator had been assigned to monitor the event. However, Grassley pointed out that Wray testified before Congress that Crooks had successfully flown his own drone around the venue two hours prior to opening fire.<\/p>\n<p>In a release dated July 23, Grassley emphasized that Americans deserve full transparency regarding these events: &#8220;For ten days now, questions have been mounting about the significant security failure on July 13. Federal agencies like the Secret Service have not been forthcoming with information.&#8221; He asserted that this assassination attempt is of great public interest and should be treated as such.<\/p>\n<p>Grassley also sent a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas requesting details about the Secret Service&#8217;s operational security plan for Trump&#8217;s rally day. On Friday, it was confirmed by the FBI that Trump had indeed been struck by a bullet during this incident\u2014putting an end to speculation surrounding what hit him after Wray initially stated uncertainty over it. In response to this confirmation from Wray, Trump remarked online: &#8220;I assume that&#8217;s all we&#8217;ll get in terms of an apology from Director Wray; however, it&#8217;s fully accepted!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2310167,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Picture-66.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[35980,4133,4300,3634],"class_list":["post-2310163","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-bodycam-footage","tag-news","tag-shooting","tag-trump"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Picture-66.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2310163","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2310163"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2310163\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2310167"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2310163"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2310163"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2310163"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
