Donald Trump says no one warned him there was a potential problem during his rally in Pennsylvania last week where a gunman tried to assassinate him.
In a Fox News interview set to air Monday, host Jesse Watters asked the former president if anyone had told him not to take the stage while authorities monitored the shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks. “Nobody mentioned it,” Trump answered. “Nobody said there was a problem.”
The Secret Service is facing intense scrutiny over how 20-year-old Crooks was able to pull off his attempt on Trump’s life, particularly amid multiple reports claiming authorities had been monitoring the gunman before he opened fire from a rooftop around 150 yards from where Trump spoke. Crooks was killed during the incident.
