Secret Service Had 62 Minutes to Stop Trump Rally Shooter
The Secret Service had reportedly photographed Thomas Matthew Crooks 62 minutes before Crooks made his attempt on former President Donald Trump’s life, according to a Wednesday senate briefing on the assassination attempt.
The closed door meeting was held on Wednesday afternoon after Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer called for a sit-down with the Department of Justice, FBI and Secret Service on Tuesday, according to the Hill.
Two senators who were on the briefing call told Punchbowl News reporter Andrew Desiderio that beyond being photographed “as suspicious” nearly an hour before he opened fire on the former president, snipers had also spotted him 20 minutes before he started shooting.
