Trump assassination attempt: Grassley demands Secret Service answer explosive claims bodycam footage

Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, is calling on the Secret Service to explain a Butler police officer's claims that the agency met local law enforcement days before the attempted assassination attempt on former President Trump. The officer says in newly released bodycam footage that he had told the Secret Service to secure the building where shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks got off his shots.

Grassley is also demanding that the agency address assertions Secret Service Acting Director Ronald Rowe made at a recent Senate hearing about the line-of-sight local counter-snipers had on the day. Local police are disputing the line-of-sight evidence Rowe claims they had that day. 

The lawmaker made the demands in a letter he wrote to Rowe on Friday as part of his ongoing investigation into the assassination attempt of Trump and the killing of local firefighter Corey Comperatore at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on July 13.
