Secret Service Ignored Sniper Warnings: New Intel on Crooks Blows Case Wide Open

New York, July 14, 2025 — One year after the near-assassination of Donald J. Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, Fox News host Jesse Watters has revealed explosive new intel about the shooter—Thomas Matthew Crooks—and the Secret Service’s failure to act on critical warnings. Documents subpoenaed by the Senate show that the Biden administration’s Secret Service was alerted to a credible threat against Trump ten days before the shooting, yet failed to inform agents on the ground. Even more damning: a local counter-sniper spotted Crooks and his associates near the AGR building prior to the attack and notified the Secret Service, but the agency did nothing.

The new information confirms what many feared—that the assassination attempt was preventable.

The Butler rally was Crooks’ chosen site, and the roofline of the AGR building, which offered an open sniper vantage point, had already been identified by agents as a vulnerability. Still, there was no plan to secure it. Multiple Secret Service agents now admit no comprehensive walkthrough was done. One advance agent reportedly “Googled the site and called it a day,” and the final security walkthrough was skipped because the lead agent was hospitalized for heat exhaustion. Despite the low 90s temperature, she was deemed too ill to complete her duties, yet no replacement followed through.

That lead agent—whose name has not been released—was allegedly inexperienced, undertrained, and on her first outdoor detail. Insiders now question whether she was promoted for reasons unrelated to merit, noting former Director Kim Cheadle’s pattern of prioritizing gender and diversity over qualifications.

Meanwhile, the agent in charge of command communications that day has quietly retired with full benefits and zero accountability. Others received only minor suspensions and remain active within the agency.

Watters' report highlights the chilling reality: Crooks was spotted before the shooting. A trained counter-sniper flagged his suspicious activity near the AGR building. The warning was real. The location was known. The Secret Service’s response? Silence.

And while President Trump was nearly killed, the Biden White House’s first reaction wasn't concern—it was calculation. According to sources, President Biden’s immediate response was, “Was Iran behind it?” Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray reportedly raised the same theory. One high-level official even told reporters, “If we found out Iran was behind it, it would mean war.”

That response raises serious questions: Why was Iran top of mind so quickly? Had they received intel suggesting Iran’s involvement? And if so, why wasn't the public informed—or the rally secured with higher caution?

This new intel confirms a devastating truth—Thomas Crooks wasn’t a ghost. He was seen. He was reported. And he was ignored.
