On Sunday, Rep. Ron Johnson joined Maria Bartiromo on her show, revealing significant details about the recent assassination attempt on President Trump.
Johnson informed Bartiromo that the Secret Service had skipped their scheduled meetings on the morning of the attempted assassination. Additionally, they had taken photographs of the would-be assassin, identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks, an hour before the shooting occurred. Johnson also disclosed evidence suggesting the possibility of not one but two shooters involved in the incident.
Bartiromo shared more details with Pete Hegseth of Fox and Friends Weekends, saying, “Local officers went up to that roof and started taking pictures of the dead body, of the shooter’s body. Then, a man in a gray suit, who did not appear to have credentials, climbed the ladder to the roof.”
Initially assumed to be from the Secret Service, this individual instructed a local law enforcement officer to send photos to a specific cell phone number. It was later revealed that this man was not affiliated with the Secret Service.
“We’re going to tell you exactly who that person was and which agency the local enforcement sent the pictures to,” Bartiromo promised, indicating a deeper investigation into what she termed a “massive security failure.”

During her interview with Johnson, he revealed that authorities were instructed to send their investigation photos to an “ATF agent.”
“We called up that ATF agent. That individual claimed to be with the ATF, and now he’s gone dark,” Johnson told Bartiromo.
He expressed frustration with what he described as “the runaround” from federal law enforcement agents. Despite receiving cooperation from local law enforcement, Johnson lamented the lack of transparency from federal agencies.
“I wish I could rely on and have faith in the FBI and the Secret Service to provide a truthful accounting of this. But that has not been my experience with the Russian collusion hoax and years of dealing with federal law enforcement. We need completely separate and independent investigations, and it has to start now,” Johnson concluded.
