It’s been nearly two months since the assassination attempt on Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania. Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, tried to kill the former president with a rifle on July 13, perched atop an unprotected rooftop less than 200 yards from the rally stage. We don’t know why this roof, a glaring security issue, was left unguarded. The initial response from the Secret Service was that the sloped roof presented physical dangers to the agents, who got laughed out of the room. It was one of the final official statements made about the event by then-director Kimberley Cheatle, who got lambasted by Congress during her testimony and later resigned.
