Watchdog group: FBI is hiding records on Trump assassination attempt


The watchdog group Judicial Watch says the FBI is withholding information on its coordination with the Secret Service for the July 13 Butler, PA, rally where former President Trump was shot. The FBI cited FOIA exemption 7(A) to protect ongoing enforcement proceedings.

The following information is from Judicial Watch.

Judicial Watch’s July 26 FOIA request sought all relevant records from June 15, 2024, to the present regarding preparation and coordination with the Secret Service for Trump’s rally. The FBI’s refusal to release these records raises serious concerns.

The Secret Service also refused FOIA requests related to the shooting. Judicial Watch is pursuing litigation and has over 25 pending FOIA and open records requests on the case with various agencies.

In July 2024, Judicial Watch sued the Department of Homeland Security over an incident involving a Secret Service agent and Vice President Kamala Harris at Joint Base Andrews. In June 2024, Judicial Watch obtained 116 pages of records detailing incidents where Secret Service personnel were bitten by President Biden’s dog Commander.

In October 2022, Judicial Watch sued the Department of Homeland Security for communications between the Secret Service and the FBI regarding the raid on President Trump’s home on August 8, 2022.

  1. Ms Attkisson, Thank you for putting forth truth, facts and supporting documentation for all to see giving us the option to our own review and consideration of what is the truth, so called misinformation and/or conspiracy theories. Your honesty, valor and courage are a true blessing for all American citizens, if they listen.

  2. The Ray Epps story has been covered up since January 5th. He was reportedly attempting to instigate illegal activity that night. He was very visible on the 6th supposedly communicating to obvious law enforcement and probable undercover personnel. Who is he? Is he FBI, DC Intelligence, CIA? He received a slap on the wrist by DOJ. WHO & WHAT IS RAY EPPS?
