Graphic bodycam footage of the moments after a gunman attempted to assassinate former president Donald Trump at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania on July 13 was released Tuesday, showing agents and officers on the rooftop where Thomas Crooks was killed.
Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) released the new video on Tuesday, citing the Beaver Co Emergency Services Unit “in compliance w congressional requests,” Grassley wrote on X in a post alongside the video. “Bodycam footage provides more info than Secret Service will share w America,” he continued. “We NEED detailed answers ASAP on security failures TRANSPARENCY BRINGS ACCOUNTABILITY.”
The grisly footage shows what appears to be an agent standing on the roof with a number of law enforcement officers while attempting to dissect the timeline of events. The blurred, lifeless body of 20-year-old Crooks can be seen at various moments while a trail of blood travels down the roof.
