New bodycam footage has emerged, shedding light on the moments after a man attempted to assassinate former President Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania. The footage reveals confusion and disagreement among law enforcement agencies about the events that unfolded.
On a fateful day in Butler, Pennsylvania, tragedy was averted when Secret Service agents neutralized a man who attempted to assassinate former President Trump. In the aftermath of the incident, bodycam footage has surfaced, capturing the confusion and disagreement among law enforcement agencies about the events that transpired.
Fox News drones provided a unique perspective on the sight lines between the suspect, Thomas Matthew Crooks, and the Secret Service counter sniper teams. The footage shows that Crooks was largely concealed from Secret Service snipers by a large tree, yet he still had an angle on Trump. However, Secret Service agents claim that they had a clear view of Crooks from their position on a building behind Trump.

The bodycam footage from the day of the shooting shows Secret Service agents and local police discussing the incident around Crooks' body on the roof. The footage reveals confusion and disagreement about the events that led up to the shooting, with officers giving conflicting accounts of what they witnessed.
In addition to his rifle, Crooks brought two explosive devices to the rally. Both devices were capable of remote detonation, and the transmitter was found on Crooks' body. The explosives were found in the suspect's vehicle near the rally, raising concerns about a potential plan to cause even more damage.

FBI Director Christopher Wray testified before Congress, giving an update on the FBI's investigation into the shooting. He revealed that Crooks fired eight rounds, which matches the number of bullet casings found around his body.
Following the shooting, Congress held multiple hearings to investigate the incident. Former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle resigned after delivering testimony to the House Oversight Committee. The House Homeland Security Committee heard testimony from Pennsylvania State Police, while the House Judiciary Committee listened to Wray's testimony.

In an unprecedented move, the House of Representatives unanimously voted to open a commission to investigate the shooting. The commission will have subpoena power and will examine all aspects of the incident, including the response of law enforcement agencies.
Despite the release of bodycam footage and testimony from law enforcement officials, many questions remain about the events surrounding the attempted assassination of former President Trump. The ongoing investigation and the work of the commission will aim to provide answers and ensure that similar incidents are prevented in the future.
