Video: Representative takes to roof of Trump rally shooting to expose Secret Service failings

Arizona Representative Eli Crane took to the roof of the Butler building where shots were fired in the assassination attempt on Donald Trump in a bid to expose Secret Service failings.

Crane, an ex-Navy SEAL, posted a video of himself on Monday (22 July) walking across the roof where Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire.

“I’m up here on the building where the supposed sniper took a shot. It’s not that steep at all, we just had a 70-year-old man back here climb up on the roof easily,” he said.

Crane added: “As a former Navy SEAL sniper, it was clear to me that many security measures were dropped making President Trump extremely vulnerable. Many questions still remain.”
