Josh Howley: Whistleblower tells me most of the agents at the Trump rally the day of the assassination attempt were Homeland Security NOT Secret Service — and the only training they received was a 2-hour online “webinar”!

Trump revealed his youngest son Barron’s reaction to the shocking attempt on the 45th president’s life.

In an interview with Mark Levin, Trump said his son was having a tennis lesson when he discovered his father had been shot.

“Barron was outside having a tennis lesson,” Trump told Levin.

“He’s a good tennis player.

“And somebody ran up and said, ‘Barron! Barron! Your father’s been shot!’”

Barron ran to his mother, Melania Trump, who had been watching Trump’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania on live TV.

“He loves his father,” Trump said.

“He’s a good kid, good student, good athlete actually.

“He ran, ‘Mom! What’s going on? What’s going on?’”

“She couldn’t believe it,” Trump said of Melania’s reaction.

“She was actually watching it live, can you imagine?

“And then I get up, and I let people know I was OK,” he said, recalling his iconic moment of defiance, in which he raised one fist and shouted, “Fight! fight! fight!”

Trump said, “I let people know I was OK.

“But it was a hit, it was a big hit.”

Trump said his wife is still too traumatized to bring up the attack. ...

In a separate interview with Monica Crowley, Trump said he is beginning to question if he was set up.

“I wasn’t thinking this way three weeks ago, but the more you see it, the more you start to say there could be something else and that’s really dangerous for the country,” he said.

At least five US Secret Service agents have been placed on administrative leave following the attempt on Donald Trump's life in Pennsylvania, US media reports.

They include the head of the the Pittsburgh field office that coordinated security with local police, three other agents in the same office and a member of Trump's personal detail, according to the BBC's US news partner CBS.

Trump, the Republican presidential candidate, was injured in the right ear by a bullet fired from a roof by Thomas Crooks, 20, at a rally in Butler on 13 July.

Thursday, Fox News ran a story confirming a key fact we’ve heard before, headlined “Local officer's bullet stopped Trump shooter's gunfire before Secret Service shot, witness testifies.”

According to officers’ testimony in the Senate, a Butler County Emergency Services officer fired at Thomas Crooks less than six seconds after Crooks began shooting. The officer’s bullet made Crooks recoil and stop shooting—ending the threat. Only then did the Secret Service sniper fire at Crooks —about 15 seconds later.

Count out fifteen seconds to yourself to see how long it is.

There appears to be some dispute about whether Butler’s officer shot Crooks or not. The FBI says they missed. Butler thinks they wounded and disabled Crooks. We’ll never know, since the FBI quietly and inexplicably released Crooks’ body for cremation in the days following the incident. Maybe when they tested Crooks’ body, it came up positive for covid and they panicked.

On Thursday, the coroner testified saying the Secret Service bullet was the kill shot.

The fact Butler cops shot first is important, because it raises an ugly question. Why did the Secret Service wait to shoot Crook until after he’d already been shot at by the locals? Regardless whether or not the Butler people wounded Crooks, assassination time was over.

When Crooks was no longer a danger to anyone, was it then his time to exit the world’s stage? I wouldn’t even entertain a conspiratorial question like that if it weren’t for the equally unbelievable alternative explanation that the Secret Service catastrophically failed in about a dozen different ways.

After all, local cops were presumably less well-trained than the Secret Service snipers, and the cops occupied a less favorable position to take the shot since they were shooting at Crooks from the ground and not a sniper’s perch.

Why were local police more effective than trained Secret Service snipers?

Elon Musk announced he will attend a rally for Donald Trump on October 5 in Butler, Pennsylvania, the site of a previous assassination attempt on Trump.
Musk expressed support on X, stating, “I will be there to support!” in response to Trump’s rally post.
Trump described his return to Butler, where the July 2024 attempt occurred, as "historic."
