Washington, DC — Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley is releasing new video and documents relating to the assassination attempt on former President Trump in Pennsylvania earlier this month.
Bodycam footage from local law enforcement and the Secret Service shows the suspected shooter was spotted before he was on the roof, but then officers and agents lost track of him. Grassley says it was a “catastrophic security failure” and video from after the shooting shows that the rooftop was solid.
Conspiracy theories are circulating online about what happened on July 13th, and Grassley says he’s hearing from plenty of Iowans in his town hall meetings.
Grassley is asking for a range of information from a variety of agencies about their roles at the rally.
The director of the Secret Service resigned on Tuesday. Grassley, a Republican, says he believes that the director’s post should be subject to Senate confirmation.
