Former President Trump recently sat down for an interview with Fox News host Jesse Watters to discuss the failed assassination attempt he experienced last week. During the interview, Trump revealed that he was not warned about the gunman, Thomas Matthew Crooks, by the U.S. Secret Service.
The interview, set to premiere on “Jesse Watters Primetime,” featured Trump and his vice presidential candidate JD Vance, who is currently serving as a U.S. Senator representing Ohio. The three men discussed the events surrounding the assassination attempt, where Crooks shot at Trump from a roof during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, injuring the former president on his right ear.
Watters questioned Trump about the lack of warning from the Secret Service, pointing out that they had been monitoring Crooks for an hour before the incident. Trump expressed his surprise at not being informed about the potential threat and mentioned that no one advised him against taking the stage.
Trump also raised concerns about how Crooks managed to get onto the roof undetected and why there was no action taken despite people in the crowd alerting authorities about a man with a gun on the roof.
Despite the injury he sustained, Trump has reportedly recovered well and his former physician, Texas Congressman Ronny Jackson, released a detailed report confirming his positive recovery progress. Jackson emphasized that Trump will undergo further evaluations, including a comprehensive hearing exam, and will continue to follow up with his primary care physician as directed by his medical team.
Overall, the interview shed light on the events surrounding the assassination attempt and raised important questions about the security measures in place during public appearances by political figures like former President Trump. The discussion highlighted the need for improved security protocols and better communication to prevent such incidents in the future.
