The Senate briefing on the attempted assassination for President Trump reveals more details about the shooter.
According to the Senior congressional reporter for Punchbowl News:
NEWS — Senate briefing on Trump rally shooting just concluded. Top lines, per 2 senators on the call:
—The shooter visited the rally site a few days in advance to scope it out
—62 mins elapsed between the time the shooter was photographed as being suspicious and when he fired the shots
—20 mins elapsed between the time he was spotted by snipers & when he fired the shots
—FBI Director Wray said there’s no known foreign nexus but no established motive as of now. Shooter used encrypted comms and had little to no social media presence
Sen. Dan Sullivan was the one who asked the question about a foreign nexus, citing recent reporting about an Iranian assassination plot against Trump.
I’m told only four questions were allowed on the call, and that USSS Director Cheatle barely spoke.

“Cheatle barely spoke” – Yeah I guess she wants to keep her job. How unfortunate that the White House doesn’t trust their DEI Secret Service Chief to do the briefing.
