A Tuesday report from the Senate Homeland Security Committee raises more questions about the actions of an unidentified ATF agent who was at the July 13 assassination attempt against Donald Trump.
Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wisc., first revealed the ATF’s role in the deadly Butler, Pennsylvania rally about a week after the shooting. According to Johnson, a mysterious man in a gray suit was one of the first officials on top of the AGR building to examine the body of the alleged shooter, Thomas Crooks.
In his July 21 preliminary report, Johnson said the gray-suit man requested photos of Crooks’ dead body be sent to a phone number with a 215 (Philadelphia) area code. The recipient of those photos turned out to be an ATF agent, who supposedly wanted to conduct a facial-recognition search on Crooks. Johnson’s report said his staff tried talking to that ATF agent, but they were stonewalled.
I heard Senator Johnson interviewed about the man in the gray suit shortly after he was told about him and he said he called the number the guy gave law enforcement on site to send their pictures to him. Johnson said he called the guy, and the guy identified himself as an ATF agent and when Johnson's staff tried to call him back, he wouldn't talk to them.
