Newly released bodycam footage from a local Pennsylvania police officer has shed light on security lapses during an attempted assassination at a campaign rally for former President Donald Trump. The footage suggests that the Secret Service may have failed to secure the building where the assailant, Thomas Matthew Crooks, fired his rifle.
The video shows the Butler Township police officer expressing frustration that the Secret Service did not have agents posted on the building, despite his prior warnings. The officer can be heard saying, 'I told them they need to post guys over here... the Secret Service.' This exchange underscores the disorganized nature of the security arrangements for the rally.
