The suspected Trump assassin scouted the venue with a drone shortly before the crime. Did the Secret Service make a mistake?

According to a report in the "Wall Street Journal", Trump assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks (20) was able to take aerial photographs of the fairgrounds where Trump gave his speech on July 13, just hours before the attack on former President Donald Trump.

Did the Secret Service slip up?
The findings are likely to raise further questions as to whether the venue was adequately secured. Former US President Trump (78) was shot and injured in the ear at a campaign event in Pennsylvania last Saturday.

The assassin had aimed at Trump from the roof of a nearby building. The Federal Bureau of Investigation later identified the shooter as a 20-year-old man from Pennsylvania. He was killed after his attack.

The shooter had already been classified as a suspect by security forces on the scene before his crime. However, the suspect's trail was lost again.
