It’s been nearly a month since the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania. Since then, questions have been swirling leading to multiple investigations and hearings on Capitol Hill and a change in leadership at the Secret Service.
Now we’re getting new information directly through the lens of Butler police bodycam showing officers responding to the reports of a threat on top of the unsecured building where the shooter positioned himself.
Newly released body camera video shows the moments leading up to the shooting, but it’s the audio in the immediate aftermath that is providing further confirmation of a major security lapse.
The incident left one rallygoer dead and Trump shot in the ear in a near-fatal hit.
The public search for accountability has led to agencies across local, state, and federal levels to finger-point and shift the blame. There are still several ongoing investigations into how it happened in the first place and how to prevent it from happening again.
