Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump narrowly avoided assassination during a rally last month, an incident he claims was influenced by his political adversaries. At a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, on July 13, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks fired at Trump from a rooftop, barely missing the candidate but tragically killing one attendee and injuring two others. Trump was grazed by a bullet near his right ear during the attack; Crooks was killed by Secret Service agents at the scene.
In a recent interview with Phil McGraw, known as Dr. Phil, Trump expressed his belief that President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris played roles in the assassination attempt. "I think to a certain extent it’s Biden’s fault and Harris’s fault," Trump stated. He criticized the pair for "weaponizing government" against him and involving the Department of Justice to undermine him, which he believes contributed to the environment that enabled the attack.
Trump further accused Biden and Harris of undermining his security by affecting how the Secret Service operated. "They weren’t too interested in my health and safety," he remarked, suggesting that their portrayal of him as a "threat to democracy" might motivate potential assailants. "Maybe that bullet is because of their rhetoric," Trump proposed.
Following the attack, there has been significant scrutiny on the Secret Service's handling of Trump's security. Kimberly Cheatle, the director of the Secret Service, resigned after a tense congressional hearing where she was criticized for withholding information and her agency's failures during the incident. She admitted, "on July 13, we failed," acknowledging the lapse in security.
In the wake of this event, a bipartisan task force was created by a unanimous vote in the House of Representatives. Comprising seven Republicans and six Democrats, the task force aims to investigate potential security failures across federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies leading up to the assassination attempt.
