FULL HEARING: Trump shooting Secret Service and FBI Senate Hearing | LiveNOW from FOX

The FBI on Monday morning told reporters that would-be Trump assassin Thomas Crooks accessed the roof of a building near former President Trump's July 13 rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, by climbing up HVAC equipment and piping.

Crooks then traversed multiple rooftops before he found his shooting position on top of a building owned by American Glass Research (AGR), located near the Butler Farm Show fairgrounds about 150 yards from where the former president spoke at his rally.

The FBI hosted a press conference call with reporters more than two weeks after 20-year-old Crooks fired at Trump with a DPMS AR-15-style firearm with a collapsable stock during the rally in an assassination attempt that nicked the president's ear but left one man dead and two others hospitalized with gunshot wounds.
Leaders on the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee are making a sweeping request for records as part of the panel’s investigation into the assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump.

The Trump campaign announced the Butler rally on July 3, and three days later, Crooks signed up for the event. That same day — July 6 — he researched how far Lee Henry Oswald was from the late President John F. Kennedy when Oswald assassinated the former president in 1963. On July 7, he traveled to the rally site and spent approximately 20 minutes in the area, Rojak said.

Trump took the podium around 6 p.m. — an hour after he was scheduled to speak. Eleven minutes later, Crooks fired multiple rounds, killing 50-year-old Corey Comperatore and seriously wounding 57-year-old David Dutch and 74-year-old James Copenhaver. Dutch was hospitalized and has since been released, while Copenhaver remains hospitalized.

FBI officials are still working to determine Crooks' motive behind the assassination attempt that rocked Butler and neighboring townships. They are also still working to determine whether Crooks planned with any coconspirators, though the agency clarified on Monday that there are no signs to indicate there were others involved.

Sens. Gary Peters (D-Mich.) and Rand Paul (R-Ky.) — the committee chair and ranking member, respectively — and Sens. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) and Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), who lead a key subcommittee, sent letters on Thursday to the Secret Service, FBI, Department of Homeland Security Office of Intelligence and Analysis, Beaver County District Attorney, Butler County District Attorney, Butler County Sheriff, Butler Township Police Department and Pennsylvania State Police.

This is such a big failure it literally seems like they just let the shooter try it out before retaliating 💀

[eddie]

How do you investigate yourself. Total circus. What a waste of time.

[hummervee]

Chain of command? Two weeks and no name of who had SS control of that event specifically. Somebody did!

[puppydog]

why do they keep interviewing people who were not even there, ABC news has talked to the actual sniper team that reported... why doesnt congress call them, its simple somewhere the information got stoped... so who stoped it and why??

[ROADKIL]

This guy looks like a actor playing the FBI director😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[jmontoya]

This feels like we the people will never get answers. No wonder nobody trusts this guy.

[MagnusFabrication]

This wasn't just a "faliure" this was intentional and we all know who's behind it. These people are murderers. They belong under the prison.

[ysbbhuu]

Bro, we’ve got PLENTY of videos of this kid climbing onto the roof. 😂

[Mackstar]

They ever ask joe Biden why did joe biden call for a bulleye on trump on july 8 they respond to joe biden call

[drewtoso]

he cannot answer a single question. FBLie is showing its colors

[HappyFunnyCute]

It's going to get to the point where the military is going to need to be used as security for our government officials 🤦

[JuliePerkins-pwob]

When are people going to come to the realization that "guns don't kill people...people kill people"!!

[luvrideazmsn]

Remember Wray denied that Trump was shot at first

[JaneBorofka]

Zero accountability!!! Rush to judgement, get the facts!!! How many days have you already had??? Call people out, just pathetic!!!

[AbdulHaq-kiul]

He is still blaming local cops instead accepting his agent's fault. Shame

[eleganz]

rowland rowe is simply the second in command of this failure, so the director kim cheatle stepped down and her #2 stepped up, same players, different appearance. The system will never change. Bring in former navy seals to run these security operations.

[mikkelvashna]

A rangefinder is a credible threat to neutralize alone. There is no reason for anyone whatsoever to have a range finder on them at a political rally.

[heatherhopper]

What is the purpose of identifying “suspicious” persons if you don’t intend to, at the very least, keep an eye on them? If you “lose” them and don’t set out to re-locate them, why even bother noting suspicious behavior?! These are just not answers. On top of that, the questions are really lacking serious inquiry.

[nena]

I used to think that fbi and secret service was the best teams to protect us but seeing how unprepared they are is scary hopefully they get retraining and change all the leaders

[Eliana]

Why did they power wash the roof of the building where the shooter was killed?
The secret service didn't recognize the need for all the security people to be on the same radio frequency so that a security event was immediately known to all of them?
This is worse than a bad movie.
