Former President Trump commented on the recent assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, acknowledging that 'some big mistakes were made.' This statement came after FBI Director Christopher Wray disclosed that the shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, had researched the JFK assassination in the days leading up to the event on July 13.
Trump mentioned that his team had expressed the need for more personnel, stating, 'My people were constantly complaining that they need more people.' He emphasized that he was not heavily involved in the security arrangements, as it was primarily their responsibility.
Regarding the Secret Service agents who responded to protect him during the incident, Trump praised their bravery. However, he pointed out shortcomings in the security measures, noting that 'they made a mistake in not having somebody on the roof.' He also criticized the poor communication between the Secret Service and local law enforcement.
