What was said

"I don't believe there was another shooter there, but I believe that he was working with somebody. I believe it was inside. It was an inside job inside the government somewhere."

Helen Comperatore, widow of Corey Comperatore who was killed at the July 2024 Trump rally shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania, told NewsNation she believes the assassination attempt was orchestrated from within the government. She stated someone directed shooter Thomas Crooks and that she has been told things that led her to this conclusion. The Secret Service reportedly did not speak with her until approximately a year after the incident.
