Graphic video shows Thomas Crooks dead moments after Trump assassination attempt, confirms Secret Service was warned
SUMMARY
Shocking bodycam footage released by Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley shows law enforcement standing over the lifeless body of Thomas Matthew Crooks moments after his assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. The video confirms that Crooks, a 20-year-old sniper, was identified as a suspicious person before he opened fire. Crooks grazed Trump’s ear, killed a retired fire chief, and injured two others during the Pennsylvania rally. Despite prior warnings, the Secret Service allowed Trump to take the stage. The video and accompanying details have sparked calls for greater transparency and accountability from federal agencies. The footage was released on the same day Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle resigned amid criticism over security failures.
