Recent text messages and radio communications have shed light on the events leading up to the attempted assassination of Donald Trump by Thomas Matthew Crooks at a rally on July 13. The released documents reveal a series of missteps and confusion among law enforcement officers in tracking the shooter.
It was disclosed that officers were aware of Crooks' presence at the rally over 90 minutes before he fired eight rounds at Trump. At 5:14 p.m., an officer captured photos of Crooks outside the building. Twenty minutes later, these images were shared in a group chat with a warning about the individual's suspicious behavior.
