Last Saturday when a man in a gray suit walked up a ladder to the rooftop at President Trump’s Pennsylvania rally, local Pennsylvania law enforcement allegedly believed the man was a member of the United States Secret Service, according to a recent FOX News report.

However, that man was the would-be assassin of President Donald Trump, reports Maria Bartiromo with FOX News.

“@SenRonJohnson reveals apparent Secret Service agent was on the roof of the building after the shooter was killed. Local law enforcement was also told to text an ATF agent photos of the shooter. Who is this person and why was he there?,” U.S. Senator Ron Johnson’s spokesperson Kiersten Pels posted to X on Sunday.

Senator Johnson also told Bartiromo that Secret Service did not participate in a 9 a.m. security meeting on July 13. He also noted the local law enforcement was not on same communications channel.

On Saturday, July 20, Johnson recommitted to seeking the truth about what happened on Saturday July 13 during the assassination attempt of President Trump.

“We need to interview witnesses and whistleblowers to provide evidence to get to the truth of what happened before, during, and after the assassination attempt on President Trump,” Sen. Johnson posted to X on July 20.

The Secret Service denied requests for more security at Trump events, The Washington Post reported on July 20.

Top officials at Biden’s U.S. Secret Service repeatedly denied requests for additional resources and personnel sought by Republicans in the two years leading up to Trump’s attempted assassination at a rally in Pennsylvania last Saturday, according to four people familiar with the requests, according to the Washington Post.

“Those rejections — in response to requests that were several times made in writing — led to long-standing tensions that pitted Trump, his top aides and his security detail against Secret Service leadership, as Trump advisers privately fretted that the vaunted security agency was not doing enough to protect the former president,” The Washington Post reported.

As previously reported by the Wisconsin Law Journal, the Secret Service admitted the Biden-lead agency denied multiple requests by Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s campaign for increased security at his events in the years before the assassination attempt on him at a recent rally.

Also as previously reported by the Wisconsin Law Journal, Republican members of Congress literally chased after Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle at the RNC in Milwaukee last week demanding answers and accountability.
