Secret Service knew Trump’s shooter had a rifle and was ON THE ROOF and never told his own detail, bombshell intelligence report reveals | 2 July 2026 | Secret Service agents knew Thomas Crooks had a rifle and had made his way onto a rooftop in Butler, Pennsylvania, with a clear shot at Donald Trump — and never issued a word to the president’s own protective detail. Those details were revealed in a damning new report released Thursday by the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Inspector General. According to the report, the Secret Service missed multiple opportunities to detect, prevent, and disrupt Thomas Crooks’s attempted assassination of Trump during the July 13 episode in the midst of the 2024 presidential campaign. The report details that local law enforcement notified the Secret Service of a “suspicious person” on the roof at 6:09 pm. Trump was shot at eight times at 6:11 pm.
