Newly surfaced video footage has shed light on the events leading up to the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. The video, captured by a merchandise vendor named Joe Tomko, shows the assailant, Thomas Crooks, casually walking around the rally grounds approximately 90 minutes before the shooting took place.
In the video, taken at 4:26 p.m., Crooks can be seen mingling with other attendees near booths selling Trump memorabilia. He appears unarmed and nonchalant, wearing a grey T-shirt and shorts as he walks in the direction of the American Glass Research complex where the shooting would later occur.
