Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY) said the Secret Service learned about a suspicious person an hour before the shooting:
“He was identified as a character of suspicion because [he had] a rangefinder as well as a backpack. And this was over an hour before the shooting actually occurred,” Barrasso said. “So, you would think over the course of that hour, you shouldn’t lose sight of the individual. Somebody ought to be following up on those sorts of things. No evidence of that happening at all.”Fox News was told that the Secret Service was aware of the threat before Trump walked on stage and narrowly survived an assassination attempt.A Secret Service agent in charge of security for the event was on the phone with local and state police about the threat while the shooting took place, Barrasso said.Barrasso said there was no talk of reports that local officers engaged with the shooter before he opened fire.”They shut it after just a couple of questions and didn’t get to any of the meat of the matter,” Barrasso said.Barrasso called for U.S. Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle to resign.”The American people shouldn’t feel comfortable with this,” Barrasso said. “This is a total failure [on behalf of] the Secret Service. We need replacement at the top.”
