Senator Ron Johnson released a 13-page report (view below) on the investigation into the assassination attempt on former President Trump during a July 13 rally in Pennsylvania. The report reveals shocking security lapses, including the Secret Service missing a crucial briefing and poor communication with local law enforcement. Despite early warnings, the shooter, Thomas Mathew Crooks, managed to open fire, injuring Trump and killing a spectator before being shot dead. Johnson’s findings raise serious questions about how Crooks evaded security, prompting calls for an independent investigation.

The official 13-page preliminary results of Sen. Ron Johnson’s (R-Wisc) office’s inquiry into the assassination attempt on former President Trump were made public.
At a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13, suspected shooter Thomas Mathew Crooks, 20, opened fire, killing one attendee and wounding several others, including Trump, who sustained damage to his ear. Trump managed to escape the assassination attempt.
The senator’s office stated that shortly after the event, Johnson’s office started getting in touch with private businesses, as well as federal, state, and local government organizations, to find out more about the security lapses at the rally. The initial information Johnson’s office received following the shooting served as the basis for the preliminary findings.
According to the senator’s office, he is being open and honest by providing this information to the public.
The preliminary findings found that local law enforcement reported communications were siloed and they were not in frequent radio contact directly with the Secret Service; local law enforcement informed command about Crooks before the shooting and received confirmation that the Secret Service was aware of the notification; and the Secret Service was observed with local law enforcement on the roof of the American Glass Research (AGR) building after the shooting. The Secret Service was not present at a security briefing given to local SWAT and sniper teams on the morning of July 13.
The probe also revealed that local law enforcement said the Secret Service had not originally planned to send snipers to the event and that pictures of the gunman had been provided to the ATF for face recognition.
Johnson’s staff additionally supplied a chronology of the July 13 events:
9 a.m. – Butler County Emergency Services briefed the local SWAT and Sniper units from Butler, Beaver, and Washington counties that will be providing security for Trump’s rally. The security cordon for the event, each local unit’s areas of responsibility, staging areas (including places for snipers), and the Secret Service were all described in the briefing.
Participants in the briefing reported that neither the Secret Service nor any other federal law enforcement agency was there and that the agency had originally planned to provide no sniper units but had changed its mind for unknown reasons. The reason behind the Secret Service’s absence from the briefing remains unknown.
