Tucker Carlson recently unveiled shocking, never-before-seen footage revealing the first assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump.
As reported by The Gateway Pundit, the raw, uncut footage, gathered from multiple cameras, shows a disturbing sequence of events at a Trump rally. In the video, rally-goers can be heard frantically warning Secret Service agents about an armed man. Thomas Matthew Crooks, the would-be assassin, successfully climbed onto a nearby rooftop, coming perilously close to taking Trump’s life.

The chaos that unfolded was alarming. As gunshots rang out, attendees scrambled for cover, shielding themselves from the violence.
Unfortunately, the tragic day ended with the loss of firefighter Corey Comperatore, who was killed in the gunfire. Two others were also seriously injured. The footage, released as part of Carlson’s latest documentary, sheds light on the security lapses that occurred during the rally on July 13th in Butler, Pennsylvania.
This major breach of security has raised serious concerns about the Secret Service’s performance that day. Their failure to secure the area and prevent the attack led to the resignation of Secret Service Director Kimberley Cheatle.
Many see this footage as clear evidence of the agency’s incompetence in handling the situation, a point Carlson’s documentary emphasizes in detail.

This isn’t the first time Trump has faced danger. Just last month, another assassination attempt was narrowly avoided outside a golf course at Mar-a-Lago.
In that instance, the assailant was apprehended before he could get a shot off. The threats, however, haven’t stopped Trump from continuing to forge ahead with his campaign efforts.
In fact, despite the dangers, Trump has announced his plans to return to Butler, Pennsylvania. His goal is to strengthen his campaign in the swing state, which could be pivotal in determining the outcome of the election.
As reported by Carlson, this move signals Trump’s determination to press on, even in the face of threats to his life.
