In a shocking revelation, it has been discovered that the Butler County Sheriffs, who were on duty during the recent assassination attempt on President Trump, were not equipped with body cameras.
This information was disclosed by Tom Fitton, the President of Judicial Watch, a conservative watchdog group. "The Butler County Sheriffs Department told us that responding officers and those there did not have body cam footage, Fitton stated.
As reported by Gateway Pundit, Judicial Watch has been actively investigating the security lapses and failures of the Secret Service that led to the attempted assassination. Fitton revealed that the group has filed multiple Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests at the state, federal, and local levels to gather more information about the incident.
The would-be assassin, identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks, managed to position himself on a rooftop adjacent to Trump's rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. From this vantage point, he had the President in his sights. A Senate briefing later disclosed that the Secret Service had flagged Crooks as suspicious a full ten minutes before Trump took the stage. Despite this, Crooks was able to fire a shot that grazed the President's ear.
Witnesses at the scene reported seeing Crooks bear crawling on the roof, and alerted a nearby officer to the potential threat. In a display of resilience, President Trump responded to the attack by raising his fist and shouting, Fight! Fight! Fight! as Secret Service agents rushed him to safety.
The incident resulted in one rally attendee being fatally struck in the head, while two others were wounded, one critically. Despite the gravity of the situation, local law enforcement has now claimed that there are no body cam videos from that day, raising questions about transparency and accountability in the handling of this serious security breach.
