U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley posted a video showing the aftermath of the killing of Thomas Crooks, who shot at former President Donald Trump. Grassley demanded answers and accountability following the July 13 assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania. Crooks was shot and killed after firing at Trump, killing one and injuring two others. The video shows law enforcement agents by Crooks’ body on the rooftop. Grassley called for transparency on security failures. The U.S. Secret Service Director resigned, taking responsibility for the security lapse. Crooks’ motive is still unknown. The Department of Homeland Security Office of the Inspector General has opened three reviews on the incident. Crooks was identified as suspicious before the shooting, but not designated as a threat until he opened fire. Congress is seeking answers on how Crooks was able to target a former president. Trump, now the official Republican nominee for president, will no longer hold outdoor rallies following the incident. The events will be moved indoors. The U.S. Secret Service and Beaver County Sheriff’s Office have not responded to requests for comments. Grassley obtained the video from the Beaver County Emergency Services Unit.Democrats and Republicans are demanding answers on the security breach.
