WASHINGTON – On Wednesday, U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) joined Jesse Watters Primetime to discuss the findings of the newly released bipartisan report on the U.S. Secret Service’s (USSS) security planning, communications, and coordination failures leading up to the July 13, 2024 assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania. Sen. Johnson exposed federal law enforcement’s stonewalling of the Senate investigation.

On new information from sniper interviews
“They couldn’t see Crooks. There was a tree in front of them. Both those snipers apparently believe a bullet went between them. You can hear the whizz crack from the bullet. So that opens up all kinds of questions. They couldn’t see Crooks, Crooks couldn’t see them. And yet a bullet flew between the Hercules 2 sniper team.”
On federal law enforcement’s lack of transparency
”Now, the other thing that hasn’t been widely reported is local law enforcement took the first shot at Crooks. That local law enforcement officer was confident he hit Crooks. Now, again, we can’t verify that because the body’s been cremated. We haven’t seen the autopsy report. Apparently, we’ll have to subpoena it like the House did. We haven’t seen the toxicology report, and we don’t have crime scene photos. We haven’t received one of the FBI’s transcripts from their over 1,000 interviews.” … “But the feds, again, are slow-walking. They’re not being transparent. They’re going to have to be subpoenaed.”
