Two Pennsylvania men who were shot and injured during the assassination attempt on President Donald Trump at his 2024 Butler rally, are suing the United States government for negligence, claiming the Secret Service’s failure to secure the area before and during the event led to serious injury.
In separate lawsuits filed in Pennsylvania federal court Monday, James Copenhaver and David Dutch allege the U.S. Secret Service “utterly failed to provide required, proper, appropriate, timely and/or necessary security,” at or ahead of the rally that led to an attempted assassination on the president, the death of one rally-goer and injuries of others.
